mini farming – Life on the Farmlet

Today we went to look at a little place in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. It is small, but just right for the critters of the Farmlet because it is just over two acres which is way more than they have now! The house that sits on the land is just right for a couple thinking of retirement. It is cozy, has a spare room for visitors, a basement and a screened back porch for enjoying the day, or evening, without being eaten by mosquitoes.

If you came for a visit…

: We might sit on the porch swing and look into the valley while we visited.

: On the way to the upper paddock I might tell you my plans to restore the little barn and make it worthy to house animals again.

: And standing under the walnut tree we would look out over the hills and vales and think of how beautiful it will be here in spring.

: I might share with you my desire to put to rights the bird houses and feeders here and my plans to move the herb gardens in to share space with the daffodils.

: And a visit wouldn’t be any fun at all if I didn’t introduce you to my new neighhh-bor the pigmy pony

: or the gaggle of geese living on the big pond next door!

: However, a visit to the new Farmlet rests on financing a loan, selling (or renting) of the old Farmlet, and the acceptance of our offer on this possible new home.
