Ok-- there have been all kinds of setbacks and goofy things happen in the process of trying to get this farm bought. It has been a real rollercoaster ride and probably one of the worst things that we have ever tried to do. Even so, it is looking like we just might get it all done and really be moving!!!!! One more meeting with the banker and a few more papers in order to sign over our entire lives and it just might really happen. Merciful Heavens...... Then we get to go to closing......
I have been so up and down emotionally over this that I am just numb. I can't be happy or even excited about the prospect of living and working on this wonderful place. So--- I guess I am just in denial until we actually sign at closing.
Tomorrow, I am supposed to go over to be there when they do the structural inspection and then later in the afternoon, there will be a termite inspection. Sometime soon, there will be an environmental inspection to make sure that there are no toxic dumps hidden in the trees followed by a flood plain inspection and who knows what else after that......
I am taking the boys with me so that Seth can finally see just what the fuss is all about.....He is the only one of the kids who hasn't actually walked on the place. We have driven by but that is just not the same.
After we had a bit of school this morning, we worked out in the raised bed gardens. I dug up and potted as many strawberry plants as I could stand. I gave three flats of them to my friend in town and then ended up just leaving a small portion of the bed. It will be my gift to the folks that are moving in here. Then I dug up and repotted my daylilies from the garden. I explored thru the jungle out there to see what else I wanted to dig up. Looks like most of my herbs survived the weed take over as well as the harsh winter. So did my blueberry bushes and some blackberry canes. The peach tree is budding out but --- It has gotten so big that it will just have to stay. I am debating about my dwarf apple tree......
Seth and Adam began pulling up the miles and miles of soaker hose and elaborate watering system that we rigged up last year. Seth suddenly looked up and asked in a panicked voice, "Are you planning on taking ALL of these blocks??!!??" With out even glancing up, I replied, " Yep-- and all the dirt, too." I didn't look over at the dramatic noises coming from the boys...... wailing and knashing of teeth, exclamations about my sanity. Make all the fuss you want---- I am not leaving any of it!
