We have been in our new home for about two months now, and an introduction to the space is long overdue. Ryan and I have taken to calling our 3.3 acres a “ranchette,” and we have lots of plans for future gardens, paths, arbors, native prairie grass, a fountain, a pond, maybe even a gazebo.
For now, we are enjoying what is already here and working to get our basement finished so my mom can have her own living space.
Here is a little tour of the grounds. Please consider coming out for a retreat day!
The front of the house.
The balcony off the dining room.
Th e balcony and the patio–don’t mind the chicken.
The deck off the kitchen–a lovely place for a cup of tea and a good book
I kind of enjoy doing laundry now.
A shaded bench with a garden view
A place to roast and toast
Our chickens and their coop
The art room–Don’t worry. It will be ready soon.
Future site of our labyrinth
Spacious Faith 
Wow, looks good, Joanna! I mowed a labyrinth in my back yard this summer – as part of my Sabbatical meanderings.
I’m still trying to figure out how to do the labyrinth. (I have a whole Pinterest board of them.) Any pointers you have are appreciated!
Awesome space Joanna!!
Thanks. I love it out here. Though you do realize I only took pictures of the clean spaces. 🙂 (You might also notice all of these are outdoor pictures.)
