She had driven up early that morning wanting to see the
property at dawn. It did not
disappoint. The mist rising off the
water mixed with the soft warm light of the sunrise made her feel peaceful. She walked the property. Twenty-two and a half acres of pasture, woods,
and lake shore. A peaceful retreat. Away from the city and it’s noise, away from
the chaos of work. She was peopled out.
There was no home to speak of on the property, just a one-bedroom
5th wheel trailer. That would
do for now. She had some ideas, but she needed the land to speak to her before
she would build a home. She would build
a barn right away. South of this
property was an Amish community. She
would speak with someone about the possibility of building her barn.
