Life on The Farm

Just before leaving for Alaska, we were asked by a family at our church if we had found a place to live yet. We were just planning on signing a lease at an apartment, but it wasn't our first choice since it would be more expensive than what we were previously paying while sharing the townhouse. 

They, the Altmeyers, invited us out to their home to see if we would consider coming to live with them. We said, "Sure, why not!?" 

Well you will soon see why we said, "YES!!!" to their amazing offer. 

We technically moved in about 1 week before leaving for Alaska. But have been officially here since returning in June. I'll give a tour of our apartment in another post, but for now here's a little of "Around the Farm" 





View from our bedroom window... Mt Spokane

The Garden. from the back; Corn, potatoes, a few kinds of tomatoes, best dang sweet squash in the world, yellow squash, zucchini,  beans, cucumbers, onions, blueberries, eggplant, and cilantro, with sunflowers and beans along the far right fence. Raspberries fencing in the left and rear.

Fresh picked breakfast from the garden.


Karen's beautiful roses. She has all sorts of flowers EVERYWHERE. 
It's beautiful


Oh yea, and we have Raspberries. :)


LOTS OF RASPBERRIES


The sign I spent a lot of time making that sits at the end of the driveway.


And the sign I whipped up real quick, that sits on the other end of the driveway.



We've got 4 Long, tame, rows like this


and 6 short, wild rows .... like this
(they look scary... but this is where the good berries are!)
Hello sunflower :)

The Altmeyers let us work the patch to make some extra money.
(and there is Owen running around with his pants off)




This is all the pictures I have for now. I feel like Im finally settling in and getting back to my old self. Look forward to sharing soon about getting ready for baby #2!
