Well, we have always said that we would be fine with a smaller house and land to built a yurt or barn studio. :) DO send along any houses you find that you are inspired too. You never know!

I just thought you would appreciate it's beauty too. :) Well now, consider that area of NY added to our list! All these areas we found and are now looking into have been surprises for the most part that we stumbled upon one way or another. Here's an interesting thing: Midwest and NE houses, 90% or more of them, be they 150 yr old victorians or farmhouses or just little neighborhood homes, all tend to be SO well kept! We are amazed because out here, people try to sell decrepit, unloved hovels and seem to have no pride in the appearances or upkeep in photos where as say, anywhere in Iowa or Wisconsin, every single house seems to be so well maintained and tidy. I'm not sure what I'm saying there, just making an observation really. And Iowa surprised us in so many ways. We think of it as flat farmland and not much in the way of wild nature but each county in the state has a conservation board and land trusts for natural areas. Yes, we feel fortunate that our job says the same everywhere we might go! So it makes sense for us to look at the cheapest areas housing wise. When we see houses that we could buy that would actually reduce our monthly bills significantly, its a very encouraging thing. To be able to work less and put more time into other ventures. . . that's the dream! : ) Nicolas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126974984715446831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732555737950593061.post-9997683836534355992018-02-15T06:07:33.174-08:002018-02-15T06:07:33.174-08:00Hi Rain!

It goes so quick and i spend it writing usually but it's so odd to have nothing to do but eat and watch scenery go by. :) <br /><br />I know you both will find the perfect place too Rain! We are in no hurry at all. Our situation where we are now is really quite perfect even though we rent. It will take a perfect place to make us want to leave! Just a bit more space would be nice some day. :) Nicolas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126974984715446831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732555737950593061.post-44114847444441255452018-02-15T06:04:18.401-08:002018-02-15T06:04:18.401-08:00Thank you Stacy!

All so charming. I love the witch house. Plus I checked out the lyre bird and lichens. All such interesting finds. Then I started to check out some of the towns you mentioned as Dana and I are still searching for our retirement home, but I got sidetracked in writing a long comment that got so long it will have to be a post and not a comment, all about the towns in NY that I love, because you didn’t mention any NY town that you were considering and there are so many charming towns here in upstate NY. And in this area the home prices are very low... in the foothills and near the finger lakes. The problem is jobs are also lower paying but as you take your jobs with you that shouldn’t be a consideration I assume. Off to finish that post....Fallingladieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010949984698699058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732555737950593061.post-54784841305633279972018-02-12T18:15:01.137-08:002018-02-12T18:15:01.137-08:00Hi Nicolas :) Oh I used to love riding on the trai...Hi Nicolas :) Oh I used to love riding on the train! It was always so much fun and I got completely lost in the scenery! :) <br /><br />That house in Tennessee is CUTE. I really like hot and humid though! It's been on the market for a while, you might be able to make a better offer! We're just like the two of you...we only want to do this once. It's going to be a big deal when we find our own home too.
