Sunshine, star shine and so much poop

We've been on the farm for five days. The road of mud leading to the house has taught me two things; 1. Hardrdcore mud boots are an absolute necessity, I had to buy some insulated steel toe muck boots yesterday, my little cute rain boots have no place here.
2. If I would like continue to drive my little car I must leave early in the morning when the ground is still frozen and only come back again at night. So I imagine a big ole truck is in my near future.
I thought by now we'd have little chicks and a yak or two but I guess I forgot that although it's spring in the rest of BC it's still winter here. So my yak/chicken/goat dreams will have to wait. (Side note, y'all ever tried to shovel year old frozen sheep poop out of a barn? Farm life is tough)
We've now lost the glow of new farm owners and are very much realizing how much work the house needs. If you don't hear from us it's because we've killed each other in the midst of this complete kitchen/bedroom/living room/dining room renovation. Before we moved I was all, "yeah we can live in a construction zone that's fine. It's only fine if you've already lived in the place now we've just got boxes, saws, paint tools etc strewn about and there's only one spoon that we can find, so we've had to learn to share. I've spent the last two days elbow deep in paint trying to make the dingy 70's cabinets into charming vintage farmhouse chic cabinets.  The struggle is real.
There was a time in my life when I wouldn't even entertain the idea of sleeping outside but I've now learned that it is entirely possible to fall in love with a night sky. There are constellations we can see from our porch that I didn't even know existed. I'm actually looking forward to summer when we can explore the land and spend some time under those stars. It's beautiful in the day here too, when the sun is out and we can sit on the porch looking out at the property. It makes me feel like Mufasa from the Lion King. "Everything the light touches is our kingdom." The other day it was sunny and warm, I took a nap on the porch. The times they are a changin'.
We haven't yet been able to access much of the land as the snow is still way past my knees. The dogs however are having the time of their lives. We often sit inside and just watch Rocky and Bella frolicking through the snow, they love to dig up "treasures" to eat. Mostly dear poop. I truthfully didn't ever expect "put down that poop!" To be such a frequent visitor in my vocabulary.
So far we're still happy here and we've only asked each other a few times each day why we did this.
