I asked for a barn.. I got a barn.
A long while back, I asked for a barn.
Today, I have a barn.
There’s something about moving to “the country.” And by “something” I mean A HECKOFA lot of work.
There’s the septic system that can be blocked by trees.
There’s the old kitchen oven that may or may not work.
Perhaps you lose a hen. Or two.
There’s the riding lawnmower that worked.. once.
There’s the weeding, the garden, the broken chicken coop.
There’s the jeep hand-me-down that has a dead battery and YET! We somehow manage to love it.
All 1.0 acres of unkempt house and yard is ours.
With our very own barn.
At last.

It’s perfect.
So happy for all of you!
What a wonderful world for your children to grow up in! How perfect… for all of you!
PS… I live in the city and have tree root sewer problems. I feel your pain. argh.
Hooray! A barn!—I love how your kids spread out as they play, owning the place!
Welcome to the dark side, honey. Before you know it, you’ll have chickens for that chicken coop. Then you’ll have 20 and wonder what the hell happened to you.
Ask me how I know.
It’s just so awesome, eh?!
YEAH! Can’t wait to see pictures of the animals (and chickens) you put in that lovely barn.
I am so happy for you…
It’s so idyllic…! I almost feel as though you’ve gone rogue. I foresee preserves (or at least swearing about putting up preserves) in your future.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
well, how cool is that?! congrats!
Radness.
Love the pics!
I grew up with all of that. 1.0 acre, red barn, horses, chicken coop, with chickens, and at one point, pigs.
Now I live in the city. Well, metro suburbs. And I love it and wouldn’t change it. I do miss the horses. But funny how you want it different from how you grew up. Or maybe that’s just me.
Congratulations, Leslie. Glad you are so happy.
So happy for you and your family!! Enjoy the “country”.
Oh my stars, I’m so jealous. I dream of even half an acre. *sigh* So when’s the door open for brunch? :D
I would kill to have chickens. My neighbors would kill if we did. Get chickens. That would be awesome.
Random: Did you shoot these pics w/a lensbaby? Or is this photoshopping at work?
I’m so envious of your new life. Seriously AWESOME!
