There may not be a lot of posting going on here at the Little Farm over the next few weeks.
We're packing up the house and garage{s} and barn and critters and moving everything into storage by Thanksgiving.
{Well the critters aren't going into storage, they're going to family & friends}
One would think that all of the activities at the Little Farm these days would include a lot of moving boxes and box tape. However, Papa Bear was still working on the GMC last weekend, the Airstream travel trailer has electrical hookup now but needs new taillights, and the chicken coop hoop house needs winterizing insulation (in the form of large rolls of Foil-Bubble-Bubble-Foil, i.e., TekFoil).
Which means Mama Bear has been up to her eyeballs in boxes and packing tape without the assistance of Papa Bear.
{ahem}
Well he's been assisting, just not with the boxes.
Yes, I have been waking up at 3:15 in the morning panicking about all of the unfinished details. How did you know?
The pieces are coming together though, no matter how painfully slow it seems at times. Last week I visited a farm near La Crosse where our boys will be staying this winter. And this morning the storage unit manager in the town nearest us called to say he had a couple of open units, which I snatched up immediately.
But, there is still a flock of 14 sweet hens to find temporary homes for.
And transporting those alpacas (we're thinking we might try the Airstream for that).
And a million boxes to fill.
So, wide awake at 3:15am, I remind myself to breathe, that it will all be OK, that everything will work itself out.
Then I snuggle back under my down comforter with a warm, purring kitty on my chest.
This, too, shall pass.

Best of luck in all of this! Yes, the details will work out. :)
