We recently became the owners of a new (to us) home set on 5 acres. For us, it's like a dream come true! We both have only the best memories of growing up on farms, and now our kids will get to experience the country life as well. There are horses in the pasture right next to our pasture, and the neighbor has already brought them over, offering rides to the kids.
It's a dreary, rainy day here, and looking out our front windows makes me think of what the country side in England or Ireland might look like. I've never been there, but I imagine it somewhat like this. Green pastures as far as the eye can see, along with rolling hills. I'm afraid the picture doesn't quite capture the actual beauty of it!
Stay tuned, the first of our farm animals should be arriving next week!
