Today is my 29th birthday, and I thought it would be a good (and fun) time to reflect on our almost 2 years in our house in the country…
These are just a few of the many reasons why I love living in the country on our homestead:
- When the seasons change, you get to witness them in full color and bloom!
Our blooming Bradford Pear; Bolt loves the spring too!
- Where else to have our wedding except on our own land?!
Our wedding.
- That drive home from the city… When I leave the lighted ares of the world and finally get to the dark… Then I feel like I’m home.
- Being able to use our land the way we want without anyone telling us otherwise. Gardens, animal fences, etc.
Growing cucumbers in the garden.
A yard full of chickens!
- Having an entire fridge in the basement dedicated to chicken eggs, duck eggs (in the future), and beer.
Eggs and beer!
- Having an entire freezer in the basement dedicated to venison.
Oh, meat!
- Having all the animals we want without thinking about city ordinances, etc.
Those crazy geese!
- Being able to explore all of the crazy, old outbuildings we have and search for treasures inside!
The awesome corn crib!
- Having acres and acres of land to explore.
Walking in the woods!
- Knowing that our children will have lots of space to explore, run, play,and grow.
- Feeling like our project ideas are endless and boundless.
- And many, many more reasons that cannot all be stated here…
Happy at home!
