Fresh Apples From Getaway House for Ocoee Farm

Happy Friday night!!

We all felt somewhat decent today, so we took a ride out to Getaway House to bring a bed over there in preparation to rent it out as an Airbnb. The house itself is finished as of this week (!), so now it’s just up to us to stage it and get it ready to rent out, which is honestly the best part. The house looks SO good. I can’t wait to give you a proper tour.

While we were there, PJ had the kids collect all the fallen apples from the apple trees and put them in a bin while I was in the kitchen cleaning up the countertops from all the construction debris. I thought it was a cute little activity but didn’t think much of it.

On the way back from Getaway House, we stopped by Ocoee Farm and PJ said something along the lines of, “Free food for everyone!” Then it clicked: The apples were for the animals at the farm!! The kids took turns grabbing apples and feeding them to the pigs, which is just about the cutest damn thing I’ve ever seen. Lil Cutie is GINORMOUS on her own, but next to Anna she looks even bigger. She loved the apples, and so did the rest of the pigs.

The geese were a little more hesitant to come near me to eat the apples, so I threw them and they swarmed. The sheep weren’t interested in the apples in the least, sadly. They don’t know what they’re missing!!!

It feels so good to be back to normal (for the most part) after feeling like absolute shit the last week. Going out to the farm again and seeing the animals and feeling the fresh, albeit hot as hell air, felt nice. I can’t wait to be out there full time. So much progress is happening on Holiday House, and even though it’s still so far off, every day feels like it’s closer and closer to making it our home.

Matt and Beau are coming over tonight and making us dinner. How sweet is that? So excited to actually have a good meal and maybe even a glass of wine. Have a lovely weekend, friends!!
