Yes. The first homeowners had a stove. The second owners removed it but left the hearth. The new stoves are more efficient so after our power outage we thought it would be prudent to have this installed. To the left is a door we had installed that goes out to our enclosed porch. So we can store the wood on the porch in the winter. We are in the center of town with an acre of land and a pole barn. We are blessed. Next project is getting the yard fenced in. We have a nice garden spot, established grape arbor, pear tree, raspberries. We are blessed.
Well we have the 10 acres and the well. The modular home is built but waiting on the contractor to prep the site so they can deliver the home to our land and finish it there. The hand pump for the well should be delivered next week. We drive out to our land about once a week and love it so much there! We've discovered there are plentiful dewberries and blackberries, and there are 3 fruit trees but we don't know what the fruit is yet. We've ordered our greenhouse which will be delivered in the Fall. We'll have to get our woven wire fence built once we've moved in, which is quite an expense, but necessary for the great pyrenees we'll be getting. Then we've got to build the chicken coop and rows of support for the muscadines we'll be planting in the spring. We have several fruit trees, raspberries, and blueberries planned as well. We'll see how much we're able to accomplish the first year! But yeah, we're still living in an apartment, trying our best to be patient while the contractor doesn't seem to be in any hurry. God willing, there may be some progress this week!
Yes it is! Every time we're there breathing that fresh air and waving to our farmer neighbors, I have that "pinch me; I must be dreaming" feeling! God is so good.

Intro Prayer Act of Contrition Lord Jesus Christ, I am heartily sorry for my sins.

I NEVER heard of a saint to expedite things. Hmm pray to one saint to assist in becoming patient and then pray to St Expeditus that it occurs NOW!
He's 11 weeks old, a very healthy baby growing like a weed! As my other babies were, he's super attached to me and won't let me put him down; but even though that makes things harder, I enjoy the special bond and constant snuggles. Right now we're in the preparation phase for his consecration to St. Michael on May 8, so I'm excited for that!
