Summer Fields and Summer Vacation
Well, the renovations are done, and life is slowly getting back to normal. Sort of. A couple of big developments. 1. We bought a plot of land. Woohoo! 2. We’re going to be heading to the States next week to visit family there. Well that’s not so much a big development as it is a disruption of the Daily Routine.
But the first bit is definitely a big deal. It’s a two hectare plot (about five acres) surrounded by beautiful fields and farmland, with a bit of forest on one end. We’re planning on eventually building a house there to which we’ll permanently move. So we’ve opted for the long route of moving into a house, but it feels right for us. And, honestly, you have no idea how happy/relieved I am that we don’t have to continue house hunting. I feel like I could cry.
Here’s some photos:
It’s got an old barn and some other buildings. The barn might be salvageable.

I’m looking forward to going back to the plot and having a proper walk around it. (These photos were taken by Anders’ mom–thanks Anders’ mom!). There’s apparently an apple tree and some fruit bushes lurking around somewhere. But I probably won’t get out there until after the US visit. I’m also planning on resuming my Magic in the Mundane series once we get back as well. Then hopefully we can say things have truly gotten back to normal.
Until then, have a fantastic July!
