red boat, blue boat

Hortensia is thinking of buying a place where she can raise goats and grow grapes, so we've been touring the back roads of the Annapolis Valley and visiting abandoned farmhouses in various stages of dilapidation and disrepair. Every place we've looked at needs wiring, a new well and a new septic system and most of them have foundations of questionable stability. But there are wild blueberry bushes everywhere and I've been eating cherries by the handful straight off the tree.
