To buy a house

is a very great thing indeed. And scary, and exhilarating, and in turns full of doubt and confusion and followed by blinding insight and vision. We don't know yet if this is the one. But someone showed up and said that they are selling a house and they would like to sell it to us. And it doesn't have very much land attached to it, but we can rent land for the fields and sheep with a right of refusal if the owners decide to sell. We go on Sunday for cake and to look around and see the area more and go swimming nearby (!) in the forest (!) and walk in the fields and see how it feels.

But if all goes well, we would buy this house and the dream/vision will have officially begun. Chickens, sheep and dog to follow. And no more vacations for a while. So everyone has to come visit us! There is a guest room available in exchange for help in the garden, which now is full of grass. And there are so many ideas! instead of my own healing herbs garden, i would start a community one in the area. I would put in an horno and we would have a small seasonal restaurant in our courtyard, and we would start fundraising for the girls, and on and on...so, the plans just change and mutate according to what we are being offered and given. Which in this case could be a house with a separate practice space attached- for bodywork, tai chi, chi gong, singing, herbs, homeopathy...

Life is full right now, and I have no idea what will happen next. We hear from the Bank next week about how much it would cost each month for mortgage and insurance and then we see if we can afford it. Everything is possible. (House on the left, workshops and stalls on the right.)
