[Scrapbook] Boyz in the Wood

In January, we moved to what we affectionately call, the "Treehouse," just outside of Abingdon. It's a small homestead, barely an acre on the side of a hill—but we LOVE it! The views are wonderful.






Views from the Treehouse


We've already planted carrots (see my bride's blog for details), two cherry trees, two cherry bushes and two blueberry bushes. By the light of the moon, we'll be planting lettuce and peas in our kitchen garden. When the snow stops, we'll really get going with the rest of the gardens: vegetable and herb.


Until it stops snowing...


In the meantime, when the weather is nice, the boys and I have started taking hikes in the woods up to the top of "our" hill.

God has blessed us tremendously with this house and we look forward to many years here, Lord willing.

That's very cool Jim Bob!

My parents have opened up to the possibility of moving to a large land (in SoCal) so we may go find and live on an acre or more there. Due to the housing bubble, we may not buy one for a while, however....
