HELLO Gardenstewers!!!!!
What a beautiful day! I slept until 6:30 am this morning. I'm usually up at 5 to get to work by 7 so this was a real treat for me.
I'm getting more excited the warmer it gets! Excited about moving! I still don't exactly know when that will be but I think a little at a time until I'm completely out of the tin box I live in now. YIPPPEEEE!!!!!!!! A YARD! YIPPPPEEEEE!!!!!
I can hardly contain myself!
The farm house I'm moving to is the one I lived in with my parents for a few years as a teenager. There has been no one in the house for about 2 years now and it's over run by mice and used for storage for the church. It smells so bad you get hit when you walk in the door. This means the carpet will have to be torn out and the beautiful hardwood floors will have to be bleached and then refinished. I remember the floors throughout the house were beautiful at one time. I don't know why anyone would cover them.
This house is actually the parsonage to the church my dad was the minister at many years ago. My brother is now the pastor and after 2 years ago of me asking if I could move in to the house he has finally decided it would be better to have someone living in it. Duh! LOL
I will live there for 2 years and then build my own small house. I'm very anxious to do this. The time spent in the parsonage will give me a chance to save my money to put towards a home of my own. This is a new adventure for me and that's a good thing!
The existing flowers there are, Iris. Period. That's it. Oh, maybe a little sedum but there's just not much. No one ever took care of this house and the yard but to mow it. So this will definately be a blank slate for me. I will work hard and make it beautiful for when they (the church) get ready to sell it and move to their new property in 2 years.
I could just jump up for joy!!!!!
