Well we have been up here for a whole month now and still aren't fully settled in yet but we have made some progress. I have managed to paint the living room, Todd put up closet rods in the closets so we could hang up our clothes, took out the 3 dead trees right next to the house, trimmed some of the other trees, Todd hooked up the phones line so I could have a computer, put up a fence and we took down the Christmas lights. I still have to paint the whole rest of the house and will be working on that this week. I am hoping to do some of the flooring this weekend but we have another glitch so I don't know if that will happen.
We took a walk around here over the weekend and explored some of the dirt roads and "bunny trails" by our house. There are a million rocks out here so next time we go for a walk we will need to carry a backpack to carry the girls loot back in. They both have been interested in rocks since they could walk and I am thinking about getting some geology books so they can figure out what we have. I am a little rusty on my rock identification so I could use a brush up too. The other thing I need to get is a bug I.d. type book, there are so many bugs up here and as I found out Saturday even the harmless looking little caterpillar out here is really a demon in disguise. I thought that venomous caterpillars were only found in places like the Amazon or Florida but no they are here too. They fall out of the tree, land on you and you don't even know it until you brush up against it and your arm swells up, turns read and hurts. Crazy buggers, and I was worried about rattlesnakes.
