GOODBYE FOR NOW.
We are in a chaotic state of packing today, running last minute errands and trying to plan for the next few weeks. We are so ready to be back on the farm - but in many ways, we are also COMPLETELY unprepared. The cabin is not finished - it is mostly insulated but without drywall, there is no water, no stove - and yet tomorrow we are moving in. It is just too difficult for us to try to finish the cabin from 2 hours away, and staying in the city is simply too expensive. So, we're just gonna go. We are expecting there to be a strange settling-in period, the days before we have the stove to cook on, or a reliable source of water. But it is time. Although we have lots of love for Nashville and our amazing friends here, we don't do well living in the city. We aren't good at being apart from each other while Jesse is at work, being inside and away from the garden and the animals, spending all the money we make on food that we would normally be growing for ourselves. And although we aren't sure what the upcoming days will bring, we are excited for it. We have lived in a barn before, and we can surely (and happily) do it again. "Roughing it" is sort of how we roll.All that to say...we are officially heading to Bugtussle. That means off-the grid. No cell phones, no internet, no electricity. Although the plan is to drive to town at least once a week, that might not happen. We will definitely be slow to respond to emails and messages, so apologies in advance. Like I said, we will be transitioning, figuring it out as we go, and we hope you can put up with the messiness that will most likely result. See you on the other side!- Hannah.
