Morning Has Broken

Okay, not a fiddle tune, but a good song for sure! Morning breaks through our bedroom window, greeting us with sunshine filtering through the trees here at Fiddle Ridge. I love living in the woods! Saturday morning I went outside to hang a windchime (one I got in Maui years ago on a retreat with Club-E), and heard TURKEYS gobbling and thrashing around, and we saw what I think was sign of deer tearing up leaves just off the side of the road. Lots of birds too.
Richard rented a U-Haul box trailer for the weekend, so we moved. Not what I had planned, but it worked out great! We got just about everything out of the house (except the piano, washer, and dryer). The barn is still full too, so we're definitely not done, but it feels really good to be actually living in our new home. Only a few more boxes to unpack in the kitchen and we'll be ready to haul some more stuff over here.
The house is really comfortable. The first night (Friday) it was pretty chilly, but this house has been empty all winter. By Saturday evening it was definitely warmer, and today it was a glorious 70 degrees, with a fire only early this morning. The floor plan is unique, but for us it seems to be perfect.
Mom & Dad came over to help unload the U-Haul Friday night, and returned on Saturday morning to help more. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Jen and Avery came to visit and take a tour of the house, glad they could see the new digs. Kathie stopped in for a look, and Deb too, though we weren't here to see her (bet she's all tan from her recent trip to Mexico!).
We still have a lot of cleaning, and projects, but are ready for anyone to stop by for a visit! We should have our telephone service tomorrow, and as you can see here, our internet service has been connected.
