One thing you can say for us...we didn't give up. We were determined to live outside of the city, somehow, some way. We prayed for direction, guidance. I knew our prayers were being heard; I just wished the Lord would verbally give me his answer to me like he did Moses, so I wouldn't have to listen so hard.
This is a lot that we looked at from time to time for probably over a year. We kept finding ourselves back at this lot and long story long (yeah, my family and real friends know I can't tell a short story anyway) it turned out to be the answer to our prayers for what we were looking for in a home. It is a little over 3 and a half acres, 2/3 of the lot is wooded and it has a creek running through the back (this satellite photo doesn't show the back lot line.
Since it is in a sub-division, the dream of pigmy goats and fresh eggs from Blue Cochins every morning are lost. However, we can have horses and cows (one per acre, I believe) and I think we can have bees. That might be really interesting to pursue. The one thing I'm especially excited about is making that wooded area a really beautiful woodland and grove. And, the creek; I think I will like the creek.
