These two….are still at it.

Cats are so hard to move. We took all of the cats to the studio for their “induction” period to decompress from moving with chickens and dogs in the back of my Explorer, then I took the “outdoor” cats to the hayloft in the barn where they can sleep in the hay. I’m feeding them up there, and they seem to be adjusting to barn life. Hopefully, they’ll keep busy finding out if we have any mice. The “house” cats (indoor/outdoor) are gradually learning to go in and out here and figuring things out.
My internet is fixed! I apologize for being behind on my house/farm tour. I spent all day yesterday painting my bedroom (and I love it). I’ll get back to the tour asap. I only moved into this house less than a week and a half ago, and I’m a little overwhelmed! Thank you SO much for your support. I really appreciate it.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Settling in and nesting are important and will be here as you get along with the process! I am excited to see more of your new home and farm!

About the color you are painting your bedromm, I dont know if you have posted tht color you selected or not, but I remember the shade sassafras tea makes when you add a bit of cream. It turns a lovely shade of lavendar.

So sorry about the mis-spelled words, my fingers are bandaged and it makes typing very difficult–need to recheck before I post

I will be looking forward to the tour. I love everything I have seen so far.

Those two are so in love. My cat just taunts my boyfriend’s parent’s dog while it is in a crate. It would not end like this if they met without bars between them.
Looking forward to more posts whenever you get relaxed and settled down!
<- like this cow. I love emoticons. I didn't sleep much last night so I want to put them… everywhere.

I’ve had my nose against the window of your house for over a year and will keep it there. The point is gone.. I wait for more of your new home (impatiently)

Your new farm looks SO much better for you. Easier land, more sun and less mud, a real barn… It looks like your animals will be happier here, and you can care for them without the hardships you had at Stringtown. A hundred acres of your own, a soon-to-be-realized horse for Morgan, free gas, a real light that lights up on its own… What we’ve seen of the house so far is adorable. The old kitchen space has great potential. Meanwhile, I’m sure the current kitchen is just fine.
Your future may look different now than it did a year ago, but with a new independence, a more suitable farm, and book deals in the works, it looks to me that you couldn’t have been more correct about landing on your feet. WELL DONE!
I’ll be following along with everyone else as you continue to take us on the tour. Thank you so much for what you share with us.
