A job opportunity came up for my husband in Northern NY. Land and taxes are cheap up there. We decided against. Neither of us wanted to move. We like our place. I would regret leaving all that we have built to start all over again.
One of my reasons for staying is that I really want to see how great I can do things here. I really would like to build more garden beds and landscape around the house. This is what it looks like now. Kind of blank and stark. There are apple trees to the left. They aren't growing very fast. I have lots more plans. It'll take a long time to do everything, but it'll be worth it. What few flower gardens I do have are maturing. I had my first peony blooms this year. We have a humming bird stopping by now and the blue bird babies are close to going out on their own.
Another reason for staying is that there is a great market in the area for good food grown locally. The Regional Farm and Food Project is here and they are very good at marketing local produce and sustainable agriculture. I'll post a link when I get a chance.
