in the garden

my husband and i are currently building a house out in the bush.

to clarify, neither my husband or i are actually the ones building - that would be the friendly building fairies who are hard at work while i am at work and uni. nor is it in the bush. it is however on a 1 acre block which i feel entitles me to say that we are moving to a farm :)
this excites me greatly and i am dreaming of a hammock, veggie garden, sewing room and a chook pen. i have already started planning our veggie patch which might just be the best thing ever.

bring on the farm :)
