The Big Move: To the Oasis

I am attempting to make myself love the big move from my conveniently located home close to the village to our as-yet non-existing oasis out in the country.  Steven says it's only 20 minutes, but for me it's more like a half hour.  That's OK, I'm looking forward to the quiet and isolation, and looking forward to making our own little oasis just the way I want it.  Yep, it's our Oasis, with a capital O, that's what I'm going with.  Here's the definition of Oasis:

o·a·sis

[oh-ey-sis] Show IPA

noun, plural o·a·ses [oh-ey-seez] Show IPA .

1.

a small fertile or green area in a desert region, usually having a spring or well.

2.

something serving as a refuge, relief, or pleasant change from what is usual, annoying, difficult, etc.: The library was an oasis of calm in the hectic city.

 

Yep, that's it! I have a feeling that I'll be glad to have done it. I want to make it functional, and minimalistically luxurious.  I don't have a ton of money to spend, but I also don't want to have to spend a ton to maintain it.  I want and indoor pool greenhouse, and I want it safe from tornadoes! Is that so much to ask?  I think not.

 

We're going to be down the road from the zip line one way, and the winery the other.  I hope there won't be too much traffic.:)
