There's good news and there's bad news....


The good news is that I finally found my dream home. It's a gorgeous old five-bedroom house on ten acres. Farmy and sweet. Lots of room for kids to run free (without being hit by cars)!


What's the bad news? Well, it belongs to someone else...and isn't even for sale. At least now Tony has a clear vision of what I'm looking for. This is the farm that hosted the second annual Farm Fair (raising money to start a Kitsap Community Food Co-op).


We went mainly for the million-dollar pony rides and the raffles, but I was also a big fan of many cute vendors - selling aprons, recycled craft goods (nearly as cute as my own ;), and hand-made japanese block prints (do you think she'd take Sofia as an apprentice?)



Too short Pony rides that James could not wait for.


Cider press demo...I still don't understand how it works, but the kids had fun rinsing their apples, chucking them in, and watching them be ground to a pulp.


James says we need one of these.


I think we need at least five of these.

  4. Cute house...I'm sure you can talk them into selling it to you--surely they aren't attached to it at all.

  5. Yes, I'm sure they're WAY tired of this house - I mean, it's been in their family since 1910. Bor-ing!
