We’ve Signed our lives away

Once again, for the 6th and last time in my life we’ve signed our lives away to purchase a home.  This will be my last and most expensive.  A beautiful piece of  property, 6 acres, located above Whales Head north of Brookings.  My good friend, Linda, and her DH have signed the papers as have we and the wheels are set in motion.

There are so many things to do.  But we hope to move in by June 15th.

My mind is filled with seed catalogs. Last year I didn’t plant a vegetable garden because our house was up for sale.  It has been the first time in 18 years I didn’t have even a kitchen garden.  I missed it terribly.  The previous year we tried to eat at least half our meals from the 100 foot diet.  That ment, eating food that was raised on our small acre, not walking more than 100 feet out the back door to get fresh produce.

Now that we will be living on a sloping homesite I have visions of terraces and vegatable gardens out my front door.  I am itching to get started.  I hope the excitement stays with me as we slog through the mud and road building.

I’ve been reading Tasha Tutor’s garden.  I can hardly wait to get my hands in the soil.

First the dozer guy needs to spend some time clearing off the level piece for a garden and home for the greenhouse.
