Little house purchase

This little house with a detached garage on 4 acres with it’s own well and septic tank,

and this hoop house are what have been taking so much of my time lately.   The property adjoins ours.  The owners were not in good enough health to keep things up, therefore there is a lot of work to be done as you can easily see.    After a lot of negotiating and biting our tongues, we signed the papers today and will take possession either on Monday or Tuesday, when the sale is recorded by the county.  We have a potential tenant  (I have had to check out as well as one can), who with his wife is excited about doing the yard work and painting.   They will only rent the house, not the land, barn, or hoop house.  The barn and land are for the sheep.  The plan is to put the garden that is currently on the steep hill, between the barn which is on the lower side of the trees and the hoop house.   It is much flatter and will be so much easier to garden.   So there are more garden boxes going in this winter.   And probably less quilting as well.

Another hour of sewing and bit by bit, the quilt is progressing.
