Mostly the "stuff" is now at this house. All over the house, no one who should be responsible for deciding if THEY need to keep it seems interested in doing so.

I sincerely hope we can be better about not being sooo cluttered! But we will see...Had a couple boxes to go out the door, DH had to go through....at least he only pulled out 1 item...
he is so convinced that some things we may just one day desperately need and why buy again? I have lived all my life with too much (IMHO ) totally ok with reducing....why have junk in boxes that you just forget about anyways then you end up with 2,3 "thingies" you use once??? 
Our agent came over last night. We went over all the things that need cleaned up, repaired, replaced..... so on our way to moving!
She was pretty confident in a price that in my mind is quite a bit higher than I really thought....of course there's zero small acreage "reasonable" properties available around here... so we will see. It would be great to make a bit of a profit. Still looking into zoning issues... but I believe it can be workable.

This is sounding better and better. I will pray for you and your family, your mom, that y'all find the perfect property, sell yours quickly and that this process goes well for all.

Well no real news other than my Mom still wants an arm and leg for unbroke horses....
told me last night she just wanted to find a home for them... then this morning she wants $2500 to 3000..... you can't ride a registration paper....
oh well. I think we did find a home for the oldest mare she was just wanting to find a home for. IDK I am clueless on Morgan lines so maybe she'll get that for the 2 mares.... but the 17 yr old "greenbroke" gelding... 'Anyways we need to get up there and get the some equipment she plans on bringing... she's just trying to get everything moved this way. which makes sense. We are probably going to make an offer on the property we all love. the owner was looking into the zoning further but I think it won't be too big of an issue.
I have been fighting a virus.... most days I am ok. but the headaches really zap me.
I do have a mini rex doe nesting, so we should get our first litter(s?) next week. several Velveteen does are finally cooperating too.
we can't be overlooked with some more winter so are expecting more snow this weekend....
but not as much as those out east.
Need to get horses worked., and a good grooming as they are shedding. I did get them all dewormed last week. hoping to figure out some landscaping.... anyone have any suggestions for flower beds full of crab grass??? 
need to get things looking "nice" and neat.

A hoe and some deep mulch, topped with pine bark nuggets will help with the flower beds....hope all the other works out well for ya....and sounds like bunnies are on the way....
Hope ya get over the crud....weather sure ain't helping ya.

Gee @CntryBoy777 I was going to suggest embracing crabgrass as a ground cover
Actually, other than a lot of work digging it out, ongoing until one dies, I have no recommendation.

True. I don't know that it is crab grass but keeping the flower and veg beds (reasonably) cleared of grass is a chore. Stuff grows underground many feet then pops a shoot.

Well got notice our dream property has an offer.... guess we'll wait and see. Timing just is off... Mom is having a contractor come give her an estimate, try and see if getting her house more finished will help on offers 
.
I think I am going to try and move my plants I want to keep and just roundup the flower beds.... just need to find a spot to "store" my plants.... maybe a local friend has room we could transplant them to, then I can get starts after the move.... my other idea is to put in big planters.... I did trim the bushes the other day. DH has my cold virus. So not getting much done. I have been getting our office/junk room cleaned.
Horses all need groomed, all are blowing their coats. Spring is coming!
