Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever mentioned that we closed on those 5 acres we were thinking about buying.
Yes, we're landowners!
Honestly, we closed on May 25th and haven't been to the property since then... nor have we popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Cherry harvest (which just finished, successfully and beautifully) has been a little bit all-consuming.
But we have great plans for our little plot, and hopefully within the next several years it will morph into our dream homestead. For now I just want to plant a little grove of fig trees and hope they're nice and mature by the time we can build and move out there.
Oh, let the dreaming begin!

Yes, relief is a definite emotion going on right now, although payroll starts tomorrow... :).
Congrats on the land purchase - that is so exciting!
Oh, wow. Congratulations! I'm excited for you. :D So glad cherry harvest went well, too.
Brown Turkey figs are really good....

I hope that you get to celebrate soon your new five acres. I'd like to think that I've had a little something to do with your being able to move a little closer to your dream home.... You see, I absolutely love the divine cherry. When cherries are in season, I buy (and eat all by myself) at least 3-4 pounds a week of fresh cherries during these delightful summer months. I eat them with breakfast, as a snack after lunch, and as a snack in the evening when I'm reading a novel. And don't even get me started on homemade cherry pie, cherry ice cream, chocolate covered cherries.... Hooray for the cherry farmers of the world!
Thank you, Leanna! :)
Brown Turkey figs... I don't know that I've ever tasted them but I'm already drooling :-D.
Keep the cherry habit alive, Carrie-Ann!!
Thanks for your delightful comment :-D.
