Retired!

 Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out ....

This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget. 

Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed.

This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed.

This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I know it looks too tiny, but I am nothing if not creative. It has a window on the other side and already wired for electricity. It will do. For now. It needs a porch, don't you think? A cute little porch and a dutch door to the interior so as not to feel claustrophobic in there. I have plans ...

Another existing structure is a screened in room. My son asked if it was a chicken house. No chickens. We put siding on this to be able to put boxes of stuff not going inside the house when the movers finally arrived. We need to trim out the siding and do a real door, but it suffices until then.

This is our private drive going out. We are nestled back in here and you can't really see anything until you are upon it. Privacy, I like privacy. I am counting the days until Spring when I can go outside and play in my new dirt!
