Our New Home!!

Yesterday was a pretty quiet day. I woke up and spoke with our real estate agent to find out if we could go and visit the acreage. The last time I was out there I took pictures from the vehicle and did not get to walk around. She called back and said it would be ok if we went. So we pack a snack for the kids, grabbed the camera, packed some boxes in and headed out. We stopped at my parents and unloaded our boxes and then headed to the acreage. It was beautiful and we still love it. Though I am unhappy with my pictures (camera was on the wrong setting) you get a better idea of what we are getting.
This is our driveway.

When you drive in the second house and the quonset are on your right.
These twelve grain bins are to the left of the quonset. The big question within my family is whether or not to keep these and rent them out or sell them. Personally I would like to keep about 3 and sell the rest...but only time will tell.
This is the field behind the grain bins. The realtor suggested a controlled burn as there is tons of dead grass under the green stuff. I am not sure I want to look at black burn all summer so I am wondering if it could be done in the fall before snow falls?
The garden to the left side of the house (if you are looking at the front of the house)
The front of the house.
The back of the house.
An old tractor wheel. We are hoping they leave this on the property as we would love to use it as a fire pit!
Another shot of the field.
A little pond. We are not sure yet if this is going to dry up or not. I think there is pair of ducks that call it home...maybe ducklings??

After we looked at the acreage we drove to Bawlf, which would be our nearest town and where the girls would go to school. I went and got a PO BOX so I can start changing over my mail. We drove around and saw the school, and the rest of the town. Not much to it, but I imagine everyone looks out for everyone! We stopped in at Camrose on our way back home and grabbed a bite to eat and looked briefly at some trucks. My envoy is making some awful noise...actually it sounds like it is dying. I am planning to make a trip to Camrose again next week so my dad can take a peak at it and maybe needed repairs.

Thats it. I will update our Saturday in a couple of hours.
