Little House in the Country

We went to look at our new place today. We will rent until the end of the year when we may buy it, 4 acres of land, wild turkeys and I can have chickens.

Cut Blue's toenails today. Creamed him up. Never know what kind of shape that bird will be in. :shock:

Lots of work out there. It has potential sweat equity. In the meantime we are packing.

What a sweet little house. I love porches, and is that a porch swing I see ???

I'm sure you're going to love it . Turkeys, chickens.....
Are you going to have a protection turkey ?

I'm so happy for you! :D

I would scoop that up in a second! Dont even THINK of moving to the city, its getting awful everywhere. If you can buy the place outright, I certainly would scoop it up! Congratulations! =D>

Yes it's a porch swing. A lot of work to do there.....a LOT. BUT I am married to the handyman carpenter guy. It's a very pretty property backed up to a new subdivision. Surrounded by trees. What is a protection turkey? Like geese that guard? The turkeys are wild. There are deer there too.
Have no idea where to house the birds yet. My granddaughter is afraid a big hawk will pick up her cat.....silly sweetie. But we are downsizing and this house is much smaller than where we are now. I'm going to be getting rid of a lot! We will be getting out of debt ...... =D>

Is there a shovelling smilie?

A protection turkey, is like a protection dog. I have heard of some turkies, being very territorial and protective of home and owner. Pigs are great for that too apparently :D. However, if they're wild, then that won't work.

By the way, (don't tell your granddaughter ), but large hawks and Owls can grab small cats and carry them away for a snack (so keep an eye on kitty ).

Good luck with the packing and the moving, and the shoveling. I'll be doing the same thing in a couple of months' time (and I'm not looking forward to it).

Where are you going? Downsizing? We are getting excited. It's a ton of work but good work.... Getting rid of stuff is liberating.
