please join our family on a journey towards homesteading. We are city folks from Austin TX, who decided to pack our 6 kids and 4 pets and move across the country to start a family farm. The woods of northern Oregon are certainly different... we moved in to our farm exactly 3 weeks ago today and, boy have we been busy!
our first order of business was getting high speed internet so my husband could work (he telecommutes)...but as many things are here-that was easier said than done. we still haven't gotten a solution that allows him to work from home- so for now he works from the Starbucks in the closest town.
one by one we have been fixing and repairing things that have had little or no upkeep around the old 1920's farmhouse. things like ungrounded electrical outlets and leaking toilets. and a few days ago we added a new member to the farm- a great Pyrenees puppy we named Bella. Bella's job will be protecting kids and lvestock from the bobcats and cougars in the woods behind out house.
meet Bella- who on her first romp through the yard found the empty, still wet paint tub from paint the new dog fence !
