We just took the first load of stuff to the house.

Our house.

AHHH !!! It’s freakin’ HUGE !! I mean, the house is nice and big and stuff, but the property is… Oh, man, there’s a whole other paddock we didn’t even realize was ours. And the back hill — hah ! The back hill has a survey marker on it. Which according to our topo map makes it “Marchant Hill” at a respectable 239 meters high. AIEEE whatarewegonnadowitha239meterhighhill??!!

We have horses in the back, which are doing us the kindness of eating our grass, so it doesn’t all go to weeds. We’re keeping up the current agreement with the woman who’s grazing them there (much to her and our relief). We also have a feral ewe and her lamb, which seem to have found their way in from the neighbor’s paddock some months ago. And a spring. We have a spring. And two streams, one in front and one in back (good protection from vampires !). And a rhododendron garden.

Stephen and I are sort of vibrating in excited shock.

Okay, must go put more stuff in the car…
