(December)
I feel like a squirrel gathering nuts trying to get ready for winter.
I just can't believe its already December already. We were really
hoping to be in the farmhouse by Christmas, but it's looking more
like after the new year sometime now. The old place is livable finally!!!
We're cooking, heating, enjoying the fireplace, rocking in the rocking
chairs. We're down to only three and half pages of a to-do project
list. It was a three ring notebook!! So we know it's getting done.
It's just we occasionally have to reconnect with patience.
As of now Sharon and I are putting the final hinges and polyurethane
on the barnwood kitchen cabinets. We have oak planks planed, and stacked
in our neighbors greenhouse to finish curing. Hopefully in the next
week or two we'll begin putting the oak floors down in the living
and kitchen area. We still have some interior doors to build out of
maple planks we also have drying and have a couple rooms to trim.
It's all coming together.
We're giving tours to neighbors, friends and friends of friends at
least a couple times a week now. It feels so good to finally be to
the stage were they can see what we have envisioned all along. Since
we published our first farm pages on the internet in early May, there
have been over 4000 people that have traveled to the virtual Butterfly
Hollow . We've just been blown away and completely humbled by all
the nice people we have connected and become friends with. It is so
wonderful meeting other folks on similar paths in life. And after
we read the first email thanking us for being some inspiration on
a similar quest, it was completely worth all the time and effort we
have put into sharing this journey with you.
