Building our own house

I just got home from an island holiday and am in love with nature, the symphony of cicadas and the long stretch of flat land with green paddy fields. The paddy fields look like soft, green carpet and when the wind blows, they sway gently.

I joked with hubby that we must buy a piece of land and build our own home. When the children are grown up and no longer go to schools, we can just move there and live a simple, village life. Rearing our own chicken, goats and planting our vegetables at the backyard.

This is not too far-fetch idea, you know. Home Plans can easily be purchased and we just need builders to build the house. We do not need to hire expensive architects. Contemporary house plans and even French Country House Plans are easily obtained.

So, let’s dream a litte more and I hope to build my own home someday. Just imagine…lazing at my verandah, looking out at the egrets flying in flocks across the paddy fields looking for frogs and snails. Then, when I feel like cooking, I just catch one chicken, slaughter is myself and pluck some herbs and vegetables to prepare the meal. That is life to me.
