Walking The Land - Sort Of



We went up to our new land on Saturday. We had not seen it since we bought it.

Thankfully we ran into our realtor on the way and she gave us snow shoes. As gifts!

We are such rubes. We thought we'd just drive up and walk around a bit.

In 30 inches of snow.

NOT.

I love my new snowshoes, I have been wearing them everywhere. They are wrecking havoc on my hardwood floors ;-)


We have a stream. Holly approves.


TBHITW lay claim to his land - it was a proud moment

Looking up the meadow to where we will build our home. The meadow is surrounded by over 8 acres of woods. Our woods. We can't believe it.

I am standing on my (eventual) front porch looking down the meadow to the street (it is fun to imagine) - can you see our car way down there, to the right?

One day this view will be filled with flower and vegetable gardens. One day.

It was a good day.

  5. Rachel - Snowshoeing was hard work but a lot of fun. I looked up the calorie burn and I think it should be an olympic sport.

    Vodka - Despite all the snow it was incredibly warm. I got sunburned!

    Teri - Yes, a little slice of heaven. That's what it feels like.

    Whitney - I'll keep updating, as long as you are not bored.

  8. After this week, we should be able to get to our lodge, if we choose- if it keeps melting!
