I'm not good with the predictable
I'm not sure when it started, but after college I moved abroad. Twice.
Then I came back to Oklahoma of all things, so I lived in the heart of Midtown OKC at the beginning of the area's renewal.
Then I moved to Norman. Life has been so... normal. And I think I'd rather have things be interesting than predictable. Life is better with the unexpected.
So since my lease is up, I knew I wanted to move. Life with 2 dogs is not conducive to apartment life (although it is doable, but that's another rant for another day).
For years I've daydreamed about living in the country and joked about living off the grid. So imagine my shock when I stumbled upon a guest house for rent on a free-range chicken farm in the middle of the country.
I made an appointment to go out and see it, figuring that even if it was horrifying, it would be a good story (see above). But lo and behold, it is delightful. So out to the country I go. Fresh eggs and organic produce will abound.
The dogs will love it. And no, I don't think they'll chase the chickens. They have a few acres behind my landlord's house to wander about on, behind chicken wire.
Green acres is the place for me...

They will chase the chickens. Promise. Just hope that one bird is mean enough to peck and teach them to back off.
Ha, well there will be 2 fences and 3 guard dogs and a few hundred feet separating them, so I am hoping that is sufficient. :)
what a crazy adventure! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Exciting! That sounds like so much fun. I can't wait to hear what the experience is like :)
