Our First Plantings

Posted by on May 8, 2013 in Maine | No Comments

Alain went to the annual Fedco sale and came back with two pear trees, a Japanese lilac, two grape vines, and a cherry tree (plus a lot of organic non GMO seeds). We have now planted the trees and vines and are watering faithfully. They look so small.Alain with our first plantingsMe plantingPlantedAnd one day we hope to have pears like these. Our neighbor grows them and, … so can we!

Too many house visits to count. Too many that were all wrong. A few we almost bought. Thank goodness we did not. Land it is! We now have it. 34.5 acres of projects for the future. We need a house, a farm and everything that goes with it. Excited? Yes. Overwhelmed? Of course! Below is our home site and view of land. Hard to capture. Leaves are on the way.ParistoMaine Home siteHome site and land. Leaves are on the way.Home site and land. Leaves are on the way.

There is a lot of backtracking to do to get to this moment. But, for now . . . we are the proud owners of a used John Deere Tractor. Witness the smiling French man below!

Over 20 years in Paris. More than that visiting Maine. Life in France. Life in the US. So different. A choice has been made. A switch.
Maine, here we are. Paris, we’ll be back . . . to visit. Often.
