Living in Limbo

 
Oh...
it's been a long summer.
 
To recap,
sold our house in a day,
moved out in a month.
In April, we moved into a rental house
 out in the country on a farm.
 
Looks like we're growing corn here. 
Corn as far as the eye can see.
 
Our landlord asked me, if I was a city girl.
I didn't think I was,
but maybe so. :)
 
 
We moved in, and they
had put in a new well,
but the well takes time to clear out the sand and such.
So we had brown water for 4 weeks
and on top of that we didn't have internet.
 
So it was back to basics.
Kind of humbling.
Water is big deal.
Drinking and washing your clothes is important.
 
And no internet for weeks is a little trying,
when you're running an online business
 and your husband's job is online.
 
 
Those things have worked themselves out.
Very grateful. 
 
And then my sweet husband decided to have
a knee replacement in July. 
And my little guy had pneumonia.
 
We have had some long days
here on the prairie.
 
But finally after 4 months,
we actually started building
our house!
