making a home...
What is a home? To me it's where we live, entertain family and friends, worship, create, work and love. Randy and I have had a few "homes" together since we met. God has used each home to teach me to be content and happy where He plants us. Some have been more of a home than others but we finally have our permanent home, at least for quite a few years. Now begins the joyful, and at times hard, task of making this house OUR home...we've begun putting the "Reynolds touch" on these acres...
Top of our task list is taking down some of the smaller tress near the house in order to bring in a bit more sun and claim some of our property back from nature. We love the woods, it's one of the aspects of this house that grabbed us but there's just too much.
We have a beautiful path to "Moose Pond"
A very spacious well manicured front yard that gets an amazing amount of sun...
A creek...
And did I mention God's alarm clock...
But there are lots of projects inside and out we are working on. We started to rip up carpet, we have a door we want to put in, a wall to tear down, a floor to install and I still have a ton of unpacking to do. Oh did I mention we now have a naked tree too? I hope to have a guest posting on that one soon! The funny thing is we are perfectly happy in our chaos. My goal was to get my kitchen unpacked and Randy's goal was to get the pool going. We've both achieved our goals and are happy to spend these gorgeous days outside and live out of boxes for now. Winter will be long and cold. I'll have plenty of time then to unpack. Please keep that in mind if you stop by our house and notice that we're not moved in!!
We've also added to our family.
We have 2 Silkies
A Star (we think) and an Amercauna or Araucana (not sure which)
Last week we got 6 new babies that will be our egg layers...I can't wait to have fresh eggs!!
We have so much going on so if you don't hear much from me over the summer that's why. God has so blessed us with a beautiful home that we are enjoying (most of the time) pouring our time, sweat and hearts into.
I hope you'll follow along with us on this journey.

In your new environment there is peace and God's plan~ what a beautiful home you have-the pond, a creek and CHICKENS. All peaceful in their own way. Thanks for sharing what God has used in your lives, wonderful reminders of His creation.
