Thought I would give an update as I will have very little time for quite a while. I have today off and will be painting all day after close. We sold the old place!!!! Whoo hooo!!! I have at least 2 weeks to get the work done on the new place and get moved (don't have the close date set for my old place but it is between the 14th and the 28th) so that is great. I am just a little overwhelmed as to the amount of work coming up. We need to paint the whole house (as well as the cupboards which are painted a lovely purple and yellow), cut and assemble the trim and baseboard, fix the bath sink and fan, build 3 stalls in the barn and set up pasture (not to mention actually moving). But hey I could not have afforded this place if all the work was done!!! Just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, and thank the lord for helping everything to fall into place!!!!!! Take care!

If I added the normal things the list would be too long Newt __________________ Opportunity must not be lost while the gods smile. -Li Jing

Not nearly normal watering but still doing some, especially the tropicals. Newt __________________ Opportunity must not be lost while the gods smile. -Li Jing

It looks like a very beautifull place to live in and grow bonsai. There aren't that many places like that here in Portugal where one could make a living. Basically this is because everyone wants to live in the coast and the interior is getting underpopulated by the day... Anyway our ways are way diferent from yours. One thing that I can't get on my head is why you build like you do. Ever heard the 3 little piggies story?

Things are working out well. "One thing that I can't get on my head is why you build like you do. Ever heard the 3 little piggies story? " Sorry I don't understand.

In the central U.S., timber has traditionally been so plentiful and cheap that it didn't make sense to transport stone. In modern times, well, we are creatures of habit, aren't we? __________________ Sashi-no-eda.blogspot.com

settled in

Well I am moved and starting to get settled in. Just got the internet up and running yesterday, horray! Wow, it sayes it has been two weeks since I last checked in, seems longer than that.

Here are some before and after pictures. Please excuse the clutter as we are still settling in.

Darn, owning horses is a lot of work!

Take it easy! (I only wish I could take my own advise).
