2017

We bought a house...
last March...
in Phoenix.

A half-acre dirt lot with a 2 bedroom cinder block house built in 1978...with asbestos.

But we didn't buy it for the house...
We bought it for the land because...
Matt thinks he's a farmer.

We promptly bought 20 baby chicks and converted the shed into a coop with a run.  Since that time, 2 of the chicks started to crow and had to be sold (can't have roosters).  And another was sold to a hungry day-laborer looking for work (don't ask).

We bought a swimming pool, built raised garden beds, erected a temporary green house, took down the temporary green house, planted trees, cut down trees, planted berries & vines, and watched as the chickens devoured everything in reach.

Our 1 year anniversary in this house is coming upon us.  The house itself remains pretty much untouched.  I have plans, of course...lots of plans.
