In June of 2008 we moved (Mum, Fran - Dad, John - Brother, Kevin - and Myself, Stephanie) from a suburban subdivision east of Toronto even further east to a small hobby farm in some serious need of TLC. The house, first having been recorded by the town in 1872, looked sad and forgotten and the land had long become overgrown in the abscence of any farming or animals to keep it occupied and the jungle under control. Not to mention a resentful ex-owner who still tended a plot of land immediately adjacent.
Over the last year and in the years to come we will be renovating and working hard to transform this quaint country setting into a cozy, warm, and comfortable place to be. Nearly every single room in our 150+ year old house needs a complete over-haul plus the land and outbuildings.
Aside from renovations and wondering what to do next we are also owned by 3 Buff Orpington Ducks, 2 Horses (Mylie and Luna), 2 Goats (Cissy and Mione), 6 Chickens (Supermario & The Muffies, and Baldyhen), 7 Dogs (Nacho, Gromit, Quesa, Kitty, Lulu, Peaches, and Ginny), and 1 mental housecat, Accio.
