The Earth Moved!


We broke ground today on our new house! We have several dry days ahead which is a huge blessing! While I was there today I decided to take some pics around the property.

This was the original pic - this morning was cold and frosty!

This is the same pic after I experimented in ps elements.
Until someone buys it and builds, this barn will be the view I have out my studio window

pic of one of the trees that will be in our backyard

The apple tree that's sadly gotta go because it's in the middle of my entryway

I can't believe we have acutally begun this house building journey again. My hubby sat there last night looking and the plans and said, "this is stupid." I asked what was stupid and he said, "building a house again!" I said, "it was your idea!!"

20 boxes packed......I have no idea how many more I have to go!

  1. Just tell Todd to build the house for us. That way you don't have to go through all the hassel of moving and stuff. We will graciously take that off your hands. It's the christian thing to do.

  2. It looks awesome out there, I can't wait to see it! What a journey ahead! Good thing for some nice weather! Also, I LOVE that old barn! Before it gets torn down, I'd love to add a picture of it to my "Barn" collection!!! I love those old rustic ones!!!
