Description
In June we moved from Hell's Half-Acre for the cool and clean-aired environs of Stallion Springs; we discovered during the move that a) you always spend more money than you think you're going to after buying a new home and b) professional movers are the Divine's gift to the world. We're finally, three months later, settling in and making headway on the things we wanted to accomplish. The bad news is there are still boxes that need unpacking. The good news is we have a million year mortgage so we've plenty of time to get things done.
I will say that within the first month we were here, I was about ready to move back to town. There were bugs the size of small planes, it was too quiet, and the neighbors seemed sort of Stepford Wivesish, if you get my meaning. Add to that the fact that Dexter, our little terrier, got skunked right in the face late on a Saturday night. You've never known drama until you've dealt with something like that -- it was horrible, terrible, and death-foul all wrapped up into one. He's finally smelling like his normal stinky self and we learned a VERY valuable lesson (do NOT leave garage doors open at night) so no harm, no foul (ha).
Now I'm lovin' it here in the country. The neighbors turned out to be very, very nice and I am actually digging the quiet that living in such a small mountain community offers. There's the occassional desire to pack up and go back to the 'berg (like today when Bean, the other dog, caught and killed a poor little squirrel right before my eyes), but each day makes me feel like this is where I really want to be right now.
