So… yeah. Sorry it’s taken so long to write this but I have a lot going on at the moment.
We have secured ourselves 40 acres and will be moving to northern Alberta at the end of September.
Yes, we know it will be cold as …. But I’ve been wanting a hobby farm for ( pardon the pun) donkey’s years. Now, we are finally going to get to do it.
Eventually, it will take time of course, we would like chickens, rabbits, goats, pigs, donkey (great security guards) and maybe even a dairy cow!
We’ll see how it goes but we are very excited!!! Never a dull moment around here and rapidly becoming ‘never a dull fractional second around here’.
Haha, bet you didn’t see this coming!

Wow! That's a surprise. I hope you can get all the veg's from your garden before you leave. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYep, we’re almost completely finished now except for the 2nd sowing of spinach, tomatoes and some brussels.
DeleteYes, some surprise! What is the draw in going so far north with winter around the corner? Can you find a doc to monitor your thyroid? Wishing you the best.
ReplyDeleteIt was just a great opportunity at the end of our current gardening season. Do not anticipate any trouble getting a Dr just a matter of how far away.
DeleteHope you give us news as you go along Mary
ReplyDeleteI absolutely will Mary! Thanks for commenting.
DeleteHey, sounds very exciting. Maybe we can boondock on one of those 40 acres someday. Kelly & The Bunch
ReplyDeleteYou guys are welcome anytime just hit me up. FYI there is an RV pad too although I know you two prefer wilder spots.
DeleteWell, that is a surprise. Good luck with your new adventure. Definitely turning a page into a new "hell free" life. :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we are far from free of hell but this is what I wanted to do when we moved there oh so many years ago but ‘stuff’ got in the way- now we’re finally doing it. Better late than never.
DeleteWell that is a change. So much work to move though.Your home where you are now seems so perfect for you. What is your definition of northern Alberta?

DeleteI have to laugh, that is not what I we Albertans call northern Alberta. Nice areas around there.
ReplyDeleteHaha. It’s north of Red Deer, so… in my blonde way…
DeletePretty exciting! You packed yet?
ReplyDeleteHello stranger, packing and cleaning are well underway. Nice to hear from you.
