Here’s a few more photos from the first couple visits to the farm. I wish I would have taken more inside the house, but we were too busy looking around and all! When we get to the inspection situation, I’ll definitely take a lot more photos and such inside.

This is the little village that’s about a half mile up the road. It’s nothing fancy, but to be honest, that’s just fine. It’s adorable. The post office is right there as is a fire department. One of the issues of being rural is the lack of services, but hey, we’re within walking distance of assistance if need be. And the post office thing, that’s wonderful! All that we do is mail order and internet based, so, perfect!

There is another town about 5 miles away that is very complete with churches and shops and pizza, restaurants, feed store and even a dollar store! Civilization for sure!

The Ohio turnpike is only about 5 miles south of the property, so that is really nice as well. A fast route to either Toledo or west to Indiana. It’s rural for sure, but at the same time only 30 minutes from the big city. Perfect!

This is sound crazy, but we’re so excited by the little things that we saw as well as the overall property. We were so tickled by the clothesline. I can’t wait to see clothes and sheets fluttering in the breezes.

Way back in the big pasture, there is this odd little structure. It looks like a little cover over a well, but it’s newer. It’s actually built there, cemented into the ground. It almost looks like a little shrine or something. Right away the girls thought it was a perfect little area for our beloved pets when they pass over the rainbow bridge. And it would be a nice little reflective area to decorate with beautiful wildflowers and such. I can see a little fence to keep it away from whatever critters might be grazing in the pasture.

There is this one big spreading tree out by that big pasture. I’m not sure what kind it is, but it’s beautiful as it spreads out big and wide. I see a tree fort in that tree, so easily. I can see grandkids playing and climbing in it’s wide spread of limbs. It’s the perfect climbing tree. I can hear my wind chime collection tinkling in the wind.

Here’s one of the many little birdhouses on the property. There’s a beautiful purple martin birdhouse way up on a pole, as well. I can’t wait to see if it’s an active house!

This is the yard to the east of the house, near to the kitchen. It’s a shady little grove with pines and fruit trees, at least one nice apple tree. If you look to the north area you can see the poultry barn. It’s that big long building with the green sheeting and the big fan.

We’re thinking that the long poultry barn would make a great art and craft area, perhaps for a pottery kiln and area to work, or perhaps for photography, or recording, or any sort of crafts and such. Or it could be a greenhouse of sorts. Or I suppose it could be for chickens or poultry but we’re not that into caged chicken raising. Definintely not to that large of a scale.

Well, suppose that’s the last of the pictures that we have for now. Just in that holding pattern waiting period right now. Monday, we’ll be hopefully talking with our bank’s mortgage officer. And our realtor is looking up some first time buyer mortgage companies in the local area, that might be interested in us. Prayers and good wishes are SO welcome!!! Thanks everyone!
