Won't You Be My Neighbour

I was just looking at my blog posts from spring of 2005 to see how this spring compares to last. I found a photo about halfway down in the March 17th entry of the east side of the house where the apricot tree is, and noticed the shot encompasses the neighbouring property. That reminded me there's a new feature on their yard this week: a big yellow For Sale By Owner sign.

Renters have been living there since Jonathan (the goat&llama man) bought the place from our old neighbours John and Dorothy. They're ready to move on and I think Jonathan hopes to sell the property – one acre with a large "kwanza" style shop and a three-bedroom trailer – for as close to $200,000 as he can get, although I think since it's not a house on a foundation he won't get that much for it.

If anyone is actually interested in being our neighbours, let us know and we can take photos and get more info for you. Jonathan hopes to sell it to "a young family from the coast" who he imagines will like the shop and can afford the price tag. But it's not a house… and maybe trailers are normal around here (we certainly found that to be the case when "house"-hunting), but they sure aren't on the coast. I just hope whomever moves in fits into this friendly and supportive little community. The current residents keep to themselves and one of their two dogs terrorizes the llamas and I every time we come anywhere near the fence. People our age sure would be nice.
