We bought a farm! Yesterday we FINALLY went to closing on the farm. Now we do not have to ask permission to run up the hill. I can pull cattails at will. I can plant the largest garden I want to. Or not. Now that we KNOW the sale has gone through, we can really plan - before it was about being, well, hopeful. Now it gets real.
Today, after volunteering at the elementary school, my husband and I took a test drive in the tallest truck I have ever driven. If it did not have a handle built into the front of the door area, I would never be able to get into it. If we buy it, I may have to stash a small step stool behind the seat! It is big, and has a utility cap with the little side cabinets on the outside, V-8 engine and some rust - a perfect farm truck because I would never worry about it if it got a ding or a scratch.
When the gate is down, I am tall enough to throw feed bags in the back. However, I do have to climb the back to close the door on the cap. Ah, the disadvantages of being short!
Now to coop building and chicken purchases!
