#tiny farm

a housing structure large enough for a common hosting area (living room + kitchen combined), a master bedroom with full bathroom, 1+ extra bedroom[s] for visiting friends and/or family, a personal library which doubles as a home office and/or craft room, a full bathroom with shower and tub separately.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, here are the animals I will own and possibly the things I will do:

a Nigerian dwarf goat, supposedly ideal for urban living because they’re relatively small and adorable, cute, produce 2 ish liters of milk a day with which I could make fancy, carved soap bars, lotion, shampoo, cheese, ice cream, etc.

also, an Aussie shepherd/border collie herding dog because they are so fluffy and smart and adorable and trainable and I love dogs. maybe a corgi too because, wow, their butts. are so cute.

and chickens for eggs.

ALSO, an apiary. YES. BEES. IN MY YARD. on purpose. I will use their wax to make candles and hand creams and chap stick and to seal envelopes like a fancy person, and with their honey I will make tasty treats.

IN ADDITION TO THESE there will be a garden to attract honey bees and butterflies full of a variety of flowers that they like and also some herbs, fruits, and vegetables that I could harvest to eat.

on the trees in my yard, bat boxes. YES, BATS, because they’re also cute and also eat mosquitoes, which I hate.

WITHIN my home, I will most likely also house a tarantula in one tank, a snake in another tank, maybe some female fancy mice in their own tank, etc.

There may also be birdhouses/feeders around my yard and a pond that has a waterfall and is full of giant goldfish and koi.

FURTHERMORE, I will write out those book ideas I’ve been hoarding for years in my mind, finally take up my yarn crafting skills to the next level by knitting sweaters and crocheting amigurumi of adorable characters and creatures, and continue painting sometimes maybe. but more importantly lots of reading and hiking and other fun, relaxing healthy habits.

and I will live off the land and maybe give away the excess of my produce to those in need because in my fantasy world, none of this costs me anything and I don’t need to sell things for money.

Lastly, I will have a motorcycle with which to tour various countries to learn about different cultures and meet new friends.

I guess it’s the prerogative of the “grandmother” to spoil her “grandkids”.

The kids only get scratch from me when I’m trying to get them back in the pen.
