Another Odd Winter in the Ohio Valley

Yesterday was sunny and warm. Today was mild. Thursday is calling for snow. It hasn't really felt like autumn for more than a few random days. Nonetheless, I still choose coffee and snuggly sweaters to keep me in the mood for cold weather. I don't mind the plummeting temps as long as I can stay warm and focus on planning for the Spring. I have turned my mom into a crafting monster. I finally have someone around me who is as crazy about making everything that you can. We learned to knit and crochet together and it seems to have opened the floodgates. I love it. We are even planning to help each other in the garden this year. Yay for moms!

Making steps

So as I said before in my last post, I was beginning my journey to finding my niche in the farming world. This is where I will be going on Saturday: http://semonin.com/PropertyDetail.aspx?PropertyDetail=1187362&PropertyItem=0&PropertyIdx=1&tab=6&RecordType=180&0110_exc=1187362&5020_order=ascending&9375=1&AgoraItems=10&AgoraPage=1
Its small and most wouldn't consider this much of an opportunity, but I had a vision when I saw this place. I'm a sucker for a fixer-upper. There is just so much potential there. The house is in need of much repair which means I can have it fixed up as I'm fixing it. New houses gag me. I want to design and paint and remodel myself. There isn't much room for creativity in a brand new house. Plus, $10 says that little old rundown country home has more charm and character in its garage that a newer house has in its entirety! And, as much as I wanted to be an "urban farmer" and raise city chickens, I want to be able to experience lots of different aspects of farm life. So, please say a little prayer that I can sell my current house!

Hey...a girl can dream, can't she?!? :-)
