I'm finally taking the time to post about our new homestead. It's an unextected blessing for sure! We didn't think / hope to own land, but in spring good friends invited us to purchase 10 acres right on their land. It's a bleautiful spot! At the end of the county, down the ridge in a secluded valley, fronting a small and clear river and best of all no city power or telephone lines. We love the clean, fresh air, the farm is strictly organic, and no hybrids allowed. A big plus too is the fact that the owners are a plain conservative Christian family and our best friends have also been invited to purchase a 10 acre homestead that will be next to us. This is the start of a small like-minded community where neighbors help each other.

Here are a few pictures for those interested in seeing this land:The lower land facing South, our garden spot at the bottom.

The pasture facing South East. There is a spring around the lower trees.

Our youngest children with myself and he marks the spot of the house

And here's the style of house we're building:
It's not fancy but there is plenty of room for everyone. Our goal is to finish the basement by mid-fall and to live in it until spring. This is the home of our friends who currently live on the land and they are helping us build ours.

The plan is for 9 homes, three are already there, ours is being built, one more right after ours and we haven't found families for the other 4 homesteads yet. All this on 325 acres. Not too crowded!

And that house style is just perfect. I know you will be working very hard, and you have been so faithful, it is not more than you deserve, but my goodness, I do believe you picked the right title for your blog LOL.
I'm so excited for you all and pray you will be happy and prosper in your new home!
