Contract Signed on the House

I’m on my way to becoming a farm girl! Last night Joshua and I signed the contract on the house. (Well, Joshua signed it, I looked on in awe.) We’re hoping to close by the end of this month, but I have no reference for how likely that is. It seems soon, but our broker thinks it’s do-able.

I’ve been soaking in information on beekeeping, so that I’ll be able to get a bee colony up and running in the spring. I’m fantasizing about where to put stuff in the house. I’m dreading the packing and moving. All this is happening amidst the rush to prepare for Burning Man, so life is quite exciting for the moment.

Here’s a shot of our soon-to-be house, taken by the previous owners. It’s actually a lot bigger than it looks, with a partially finished basement and a loft area above the second story. You can see the cute little porch, but not the great porch swing. And trees! I’m finally going to own some trees!

More pictures and news to come as move towards occupying our little slice of the country.
