From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Saturday, May 31, 2008 - First night

Posted in Farm

This is from my journal at the farm. Its probably a late entry. I may make several entries a day to try to keep up with the backlog of entries I have.

Last night was our first official night at the farm.  All went fairly well.  I waas worried that Chas would be a problem, sleeping in a different room and having a roommate but it didn't seem to bother her. 

Madison was really excited about sleeping in a bed at the farm,  She spent a few nights here with Rich during kidding season but slept on the couch or floor which isn't the same as a bed.

It was fun waking up this morning and simply walking out the door to do chores.  No drive to the farm... just a short walk to the barn!  I loved it.

We are still settling in and I have discovered several things I forgot at home so I'm sure we will be making a few trips back to town to get those items.

All in all, its starting out wonderfully here.

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
