Wow, what a long few months it’s been. Our house has been on the market for a while, and Sis (with whom I live), decided enough was enough – she wanted out so we could move to the new (smaller) farm she’d found. So the current place went on the auction list (house and 30+ acre working farm), and we’ve spent the last who-knows-how-long-anymore getting the place ready. I distinctly recall two SOLID weeks of working outside; weeding, trimming 10’+ high hedges, hunting and eradicating poison ivy, digging up dandelions and thistles. It really seemed endless. We did get a week or two of grace with rain, simple rain you can still work in, the cloudbursts we got kept us indoors (don’t worry, there was plenty of stuff to keep us busy in a 6,300 square foot house).
But then, the first showing and open house approached, and the lists started to get shorter – and easier. Yesterday was the last open house (we had finished so early we were dawdling around looking for something to do), and the auction is tomorrow.
Keeping your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for us that the folks who have expressed interest show up, bid, and buy!
