Just another year...

April 1st marks the one year anniversary of moving to the homestead. Recall, getting the farm was a five year plan. Huh.

Here is what we took on this year:

1. Bought a new house and farm
2. Renovated the barn
3. Fenced the paddocks
4. Built the arena
5. Renovated the barn
6. Sold the old house (one year later, nearly to the day)

In most circles, that would be enough for one year. But wait, there is more:

7. S took on her first major book project
8. S started her second major book project
9. S ran the Center for Science and Math Education
10. S saved the Center for Science and Math Education by keeping it afloat long enough to get some additional funding
11. I was favorably reviewed for tenure and promotion

All of that, and we still managed to increase the chicken flock by 10, get some raised beds built, and start planning for the upcoming garden.

I am sure I am forgetting something, but it has been a very busy year. Let's hope we can settle down to a more reasonable pace!

Next step: Goats!

Sold the house today

We sold the old place today, after nearly a year. I had no idea how much that was weighing on my mind. I feel so...relaxed.

And I am all the way home.

Now, we can start moving in to the new place!!!
