Around the Farm

Since we have arrived, we have had a few requests to share our area and stories of our everyday.

Here goes:

The following is our area:

Right out side the house, the car is parked to the right, that's where the front door is. 

Behind the car, the view from all front facing windows.

The silos.

The front of the house.

  

Our road, left of the house.

Our road, front of the house.

Our road, right of the house. See our neighbors way out yonder?

An old silo, to the right of the house, on the property. We plan to use it for housing of one pet or another. :)

Side view.

The old silo I have plans for.

The right side of the house, back door.

This is the lane I was standing in to take the above picture. Also, the view of our back yard, and the field there after. 

Huck's house next t the small barn.

Some of the usual sights.

Back yard, grain silos and Ryan shooting.

And we come full circle to the car.

Seen below, we have Ryan working! He has been busy this last week or so, filling that truck with grain and taking it to the grain place about 1/2 hour away from the house. Load, empty, repeat.

He has been LOVING it here. So have I, really. He spends his days in the barns or hauling loads to the grain place, comes in for lunch, goes back, comes in for dinner. I love it because he's right outside! I haven't really had time to go visit him while he's at work, even if it is 30 steps away. Mostly because I'm STILL unpacking and trying to make the house feel as close to home as I can (while Angel Wrangling). Well, that, and it was so cold, every time I would stick my face outside, the mucus in my nose would instantly freeze.

I decided that I would abstain from the out of doors as long as that was a "thing".

We are so blessed! This spring has a lot in store for us Iowan Collins. The weather is warming up and we have great plans for our garden. Along with our garden, we are looking forward to adopting a few feathered babies soon. We are excited at the prospect of so much life blooming all around us. We are especially thankful for Iyla's blooming, she is becoming more and more aware of her surroundings and becoming so vocal! More to share soon on that subject! But as for now, we send love and hugs to you all! Missing you.
Love,
M, R, & I
