Farm Life

August 3, 2012   By Becca 4 Comments


I’ve never made a secret of my desire to live on a farm.  I’ve convinced my hubby that Eastern Washington is definitely the place for us.  He’s agreed to move there, when the kids are out of school and we’re ready to become farmers.  I won’t hold my breath waiting for that to happen.  I’m counting on my cousin and uncle to find a great deal on farm land for us, so the perfect home can just “happen” and we can actually make the move. 

There’s just something about wide open spaces that I love.  Well, I love the sunshine too.

Yesterday I asked him if he was ever going to let me have chickens (meaning that I want them now and I want to put them in my small backyard).  He said I could have chickens when we moved to the farm, but that the coyotes would probably eat them.  I guess I’ll be needing a really great barn to go along with my little farm house.  (By the way, anyone have any great ideas on how to build a cute farm house that is a rambler?  I’m assuming that we’ll be old and gray by the time we get around to this, so we’ll be looking for a single story home. I haven’t seen any rambler/farmhouse plans that I love.)

I think I’ll grow pumpkins and market to local elementary schools for field trips.  Of course, I’ll have chickens, bunnies, goats, 2 dogs, and a horse or two. 

I have big plans, friends.  Fortunately, my hubby is onboard so far. 

Happy dreaming!

    I’m glad that you were able to convince your husband to live in the farm. I’m sure you will have a great experience, living in this wonderful place. Living in a farm is quite appealing for a lot of reasons like the wide, open spaces and the lush surroundings. I’m certain your kids would love it. I hope you can find a farm house soon! Good luck!
