The Farm


After living in a small two bedroom apartment in California this is our home in Oregon! We are just renting this four bedroom house but we love it. It sits on two acres of land a few miles outside of town. We have regular visits from deer, cotton-tail bunnies, birds, raccoons, and "kitty cats" (as Judd calls them). Besides the fenced in garden where we have some tomatoes and zucchini's, there is an herb garden in the front of the house, a grape bower, and across our dirt road, wild blackberries--yum!

Amazingly enough, we found this place on craig's list. The retired couple who own it decided that they needed to spend two years traveling the east coast to really "get to know" that area of the US. It turned out that Steve will be doing his rotations here in Oregon for two years. We needed to move in in June and they wanted to leave in June. It was meant to be.

So here we are, living on 'the farm' :) in a four bedroom house (we use three bedrooms and the owners have all their stuff in the fourth). We have our own washer and dryer!!! And DISHWASHER! All I can say is we are SO happy to be here.
