I don’t know if I have ever properly introduced myself. Getting started here on Word Press has had it’s ups and downs and it, along with other things, has really been keeping me busy.

Age: I like to think of myself as ageless! I can happily sit and gab with anyone from six to one hundred and six as long as they are respectful and interesting to talk to.

I spent a few of my earlier years as an adult living in town, but soon decided that just wasn’t for me.

My father passed away and my mom decided to sell the family farm, and buy a house and lot in a small town. I didn’t want it (the farm) to go to strangers, and she needed the money from it to buy her new place, so I bought it from her.

I have 52 acres 30 miles from the nearest small town (I think I may have mentioned this somewhere) and couldn’t be more satisfied.

I love the computer age and jumped into it with both feet as soon as it became a “thing”!

I don’t usually do long posts, so I will table this to be added now and then when I need an idea for a post. I don’t do prompts often, because I have so many ideas rattling around in my head now that I have trouble deciding which one to pull out next!

My house.

    Your house is so beautiful! How do you manage 52 acres alone? Or are you…alone?

      No I am not alone. Five people live in my house. Two thirds of the land is wooded so requires no attention. The meadows are cut for hay by my neighbors since I have no livestock that needs it for food. I manage my yard, a veggie garden and a chicken lot. My son in law does most of the lawn mowing with a riding mower. I do little bits here and there with a battery powered push mower.

    Lovely place. Love the front porch. My childhood home had one with a swing and we sat on it when the weather was nice. You also have a beautiful Shasta viburnum! Love those!

      I love sitting out there. I don’t have a swing, but all my porch furniture is built on glider platforms.

      Thank you so much Sandee!! We built it in 1998. (I’m still calling it my “new house.”) We did a lot of the work ourselves so it wasn’t as pricey as it looks. I have over 4,000 square feet of living space. Hubby built our kitchen and it was the first one one he ever did. I will blog on it some time.
