We measure time here in numbers of sleeps until something happens.  We have three more sleeps until we move.  All of our boxes have been moved.  The professionals are coming Thursday to take the furniture.  We have Cheerios and PB&Js to eat.  

After the house is empty, we will still have a week before the closing to clean, clean , clean.  We also want to pull the weeds in the flower bed, and mow the grass one last time.   

Now, about that farm.  We were delivering some boxes the other night and decided to take a look in the goat pen because the owners have had hens in the goat barn before and we want to get hens when we move in. 

Those goats are really cute and the cows are interesting to look at, but... poop was everywhere!  This did not excite me.   I know animals have to "go", but OH! MY!  I think I'll stay in the garden.  

Another thing, there is a greater need on the farm for play clothes.  Here in the city, my kids can go out and play and maybe get some grass stains from playing ball in the yard.  And of course, they get sweaty.  But there, they get DIRTY!  The driveway is gravel, and it is too fun to "fall" out of the hammock onto the sand below.   And there must be an unspoken rule that no shoes are allowed in the country, because my kids remove them as soon as they arrive. 

Needless to say, this is going to be a MAJOR transition for us!  I have a lot to learn about farm life.  There is joy in the journey :)
