Sold!

After months of stressing and many days of panic-cleaning the house, it has sold!  And just in time too, we are leaving for Nova Scotia in 3 weeks.  Yay!  I am still amazed that it is all working out for us, the house sold, my husband got his posting to Nova Scotia, and I am finally released from the military.  After 21 years I am ready for the next chapter of my life entiled "farming"!

Here is a photo of our house, taken when I was wondering why someone wouldn't want to live in this lovely home.  Stuart Little graces the photo and unbeknownst to him, he will be heading back to his home province.  We got Stewie when we lived in NS 10 years ago.

Now that everything is green and growing, we are getting some visitors to our garden and yard.  The kids found this little turtle crawling accross the lawn, he was surprisingly fast!

Then I spied this guy slithering around the back gardens, he was about 2 feet long.  I saw him again another day in the front flower garden.  I sure hope that there are more of these fellows around, we desparately need some mosquito control!

So, we still haven't sold the house.  We had one interested couple, but in the end it was quashed because we don't have a garage.  We have dropped our price again, now we are at our lowest acceptable point before we start to lose money.  Add to that the fact that we now are 42 days from closing on the farm, and we are pretty stressed about it.  Just sitting (and cleaning) and waiting and waiting....
