Lots 'o Pics
We have a long way to go to get this place the way we want it, but even with all the work and trials we are currently facing we could not imagine ourselves anywhere else on this earth--We have more than some and less than others, but we love our life of simplicity--we love the fact we are 'getting back to the basics' and truly finding out what contentment and happiness really are--We are a blessed people and do not take anything for granted--Somedays I am discouraged at the amount of work we have to do and the fact we are truly 'roughing' it, but I do know in the end the result of what we are trying to do will be so worth all the hard work and hardships we are currently experiencing. Our home will be ours in 2.5 years if not sooner, we don't know to many people if any that can say they will have a brand new home payed for in 2.5 years!-- I love the fact we are surrounded by dense woods--we have on cleared area that is just as you turn into our drive way there is about 2 acres give or take cleared that we keep the donkeys and goats in--This place is truly a solace from the world--It is our 'Eden'-- Below are a few pictures of our place and some of our critters, will post more soon--

Our Buff Rooster
A few of our other Hens
These little cuties were born in April--Chocolate(the brown one, Female) and Ace(black one, male)
This is a picture of our drive way--this is the view if we were leaving going towards the main road
This is our Female Duck
This is our mixed breed male duck
This is "Leather" our mixed breed Dairy goat--she is expecting in September
This is "Mil-doo"(little buckling" born 2 weeks ago)--Named after his mom 'Millie" and his dad "Doodie"--LOL
This is "Millie"(the black faced one) and Annabelle(our wonderful and loving milker, she lost her kid this year, it was her first)
These are the pines that are just to the right of our house
This is my favorite rooster and one of our hens
This is the woods in front of our house--believe it not there is a hiway on the other side--about a half acre seperates us--I love the denseness of it--Its our all natural privacy fence--LOL
Woods behind our house--you can see our beginning wood pile
More woods behind our house--We have a wonderful 18.18 acres of woods--only about 2.5 acres is cleared and that includes our yard which we made very small on purpose its about an 1/2 acre
I hope you enjoyed your small tour of our homestead in the making
