Our house

Our house, is a very, very fine house.......

The beginnings of new front landscaping.  Only one half is done at this point.

I'm not sure what made me think to write about our house today.  But, it's the topic of the day.

Our house, our home, is located on a hill, as I've mentioned before.  I wouldn't call it the perfect house.  I wouldn't say we want to stay here forever.  It's a nice enough home for this point in time.

The side yard as seen from our deck. At the tip is where the hugel is.

We've already been here longer than we had planned when we moved here.  We had a five year plan then, and the economy tanked and dear darling has lost his job 3 times in the last 5 years.  But, we've managed to hold on.  Bills paid every month, never late.

The housing market in our area is great for home buyers, but not sellers.  So that is why we are waiting, and hoping that the market will recover enough and that the other houses, of which there are 5 in our block, will sell and we can begin to look for a small home that we can live in forever.

The other side of the back yard.

For me, the perfect house would be small.  Two bedrooms, with a basement and if no garage, at least a yard big enough to build one for dear darling to have a nice sized workshop or man cave.  I would love to have a yard big enough for a nice garden to provide the food we need to feed us and also to have some chickens.  I am also not sure that I would want to live in a neighborhood or out in the country.

Do you live in your forever home?
