Friday we had a special delivery. A bouncing baby tractor named Massey. I love this new addition to our farm family. J had already graded the caverns in the driveway by the time I came home. I can't wait to till up the garden. We decided to put in a very ambitious garden 300' x 25'. That is not counting the strawberry patch or the fruit trees. YUM.
Yesterday we straightened out the barn with the assistance of our friends Mike and Gary. Mike is an architect and had the equipment we needed. It is amazing to move a building in a matter of a few turns of a wheel. We also put in a new support beam so we can put in a real floor in the loft. Today J is building the new doors so we can start using the barn asap.
I am at the old house packing the last remaining remnants of our life here. The farm already feels like home. Like we have been there forever. Once we complete the finish work we can settle in more and have all our things out of boxes and storage. Probably another month before we say "Ahhhhh, we're done".
But, building a farm means you are never done. We still have coops to build, pastures to heal, fences to tear down and build up, goats to buy, pigs to fatten and the cycle continues on and on. Just my little slice of heaven.
