The Haunted Double Wide



While house hunting, my husband and I have come into some weird situations. Last week, we checked out a local foreclosure with my parents, who are looking for rental properties. It happened to be a double wide trailer. When we got out of the vehicle, the neighbor guy came out on his porch and yelled over "It's haunted!".

Now, you could take this one of 3 ways:
1. It really is haunted.
2. Dude doesn't want any neighbors and will force you out and/or make you a star of some scary neighbor show on the ID Channel.
3. Dude is freaking awesome.

I think the guy is awesome, especially after explaining to him that we were also locals and not looking to ruin the precious neighborhood ecosystem. Getting new neighbors is always an anxiety filled experience and I hope it works out for him.

Also, double wides can't be haunted, can they?

Peace Out, Clutter


 
 
Last Friday, my husband and I cleaned my home office. It had been on my to-do list for a long time. We originally remodeled the room a few years ago and then the clutter took over. It was such a mess! Everything was everywhere! We threw away a ton of stuff and also packed up a lot of stuff for our annual sale. Even after putting an actual truckload of stuff in storage for the sale, I'm still finding more things to get rid of! I used to want to hold on to everything and now I just want it gone! We're thinking about moving and the less stuff we have to move the better! It feels so nice to get rid of things

Bird




 

 
 


There is a  Killdeer family nesting in our driveway.  They've done this for a few years now.  It's so cute to see their little ones when they hatch.

My parents also have like 5 families of Barn Swallows beginning their nests in the barn, so I'm looking forward to that.
