Little House On Mole Hill

    Hello, my friends! I am not sure if I ever shared about my land with you, but one of the things that happened during my absence from this blog was that we purchased 7 acres of undeveloped land! 

It hasn't been inhabited in a really long time, and is out in a tiny hamlet on the prairies. I really love it and we do hope to build a sustainable, self-running farm out there one day, although we don't have a date set now, of course. Taking it day by day, and just enjoying having this beautiful, little investment piece. 

We have owned it for several years, and I enjoy going out to wander, set out mineral salt blocks for the deer, and imagine a future there. 

Here is how gorgeous it was looking New Years Eve weekend this year. Wow, what a view!

There is a railroad track that runs right next to us, and a train goes by about every 30 minutes or so, as it's a main line, but it's one of my favorite thing. I am a prairie girl, so the sound is really comforting to me.

And yes, there is also an old grain elevator right next to us! To my understanding, someone privately owns it and has it under historical protection. Either way, they don't seem in a hurry to tear it down like so many others have been. 

The property is surrounded by a caragana hedge, and there is one section of bush that is growing steadily. We definitely intend to add a lot more trees, including fruit trees and such, as soon as we possibly can. 

 

In some areas, that caragana hedge has a double row, so there is a tunnel down the center, which makes me so happy!!!

I am sure you will be seeing lots more photos of this beautiful place in the future, and hopefully, one day, I can start sharing us building our homestead with you! 

Reading this blog, leaving comments, sharing it with your friends, etc. will all bring us a bit closer to our future goal, so thank you for the support!
