How we got here - a bit of history

  We moved to Tennessee in 2005 after a lifetime in Idaho, Washington and Oregon.  We bought a house on 1/2 acre about 8 miles from our present location.  I said then that my "farm" would have to be a half acre and a Craftsman riding mower would be my tractor!
  Then in 2009, our daughter and son-in-law moved down from Nashville and bought a 5 acre place just 2 miles from where we are now.  That led us to start looking around and through God's great grace we were able to sell our house and buy 5 acres here (followed by the adjoining 3 acres in 2011).



While putting together plans for the house, we moved into a RV trailer parked at our daughter's place and had a shop building built to store our belongings.

The house followed....working with a wonderful contractor advisor things proceeded fast and smooth.  First pushed dirt Sept. 29 and moved in Dec 10.

The last picture above is June 2012, along with the following from last summer.

I'll be posting often in the future about the garden and cattle, which is my real passion. But this little pictorial shows a little bit of how we came to be where we are.
