No running water, no Frigidaire.
Here's the back porch
out here.
Go on, take a look. That's
Of course, we'll have
to make it bigger.
Those woods back there
belong to us too.
Isn't that some barn?
That's the pigpen in front of it.
Compact little layout, isn't it?
It needs a little sprucing up.
Some paint, some patches. We'll get
started on that in the morning.
Come on, I'll show you
the rest of the house.
You haven't seen anything yet. It keeps
getting better and better. Here's the pantry.
These steps go to the cellar
where we can store vegetables...
you're going to put up.
What's that?
Huh? Oh!
Isn't that a beauty?
I bet you've never seen a stove
like that in all your life.
Just aching for a big side of beef
or a pot full of soup...
or couple of
dozen loaves of bread.
Fresh bread.
I can smell it already.
You're going to have
a wonderful time with that stove.
You can get to the bedroom
right through the kitchen here.
- Betty?
- Coming.
You and I, my friend, are not
going to get along at all.
- Bob...
- How do you like this bed?
- Isn't it a wonderful old piece?
- Hmm.
It needs a little
propping up.
There, that ought to do it.
Kind of noisy,
don't you think?
- Isn't this the life, Betty?
- I guess so.
Once you get used to it.
- It's raining.
Gesundheit.
There, we'll be
all right here.
I'll have to get up on that roof. Some
of the shingles must have loosened up.
You catching cold? You must have
been sitting in a draught.
- Ah, I must have.
- You better get in bed.
Ah, just smell that. Wonderful to fill
your lungs with clean air for a change.
Well, the first night
in our own home.
Doesn't it feel great, Betty?
Gonna make it a real home too.
Something to be proud of.
None of that hit-and-run stuff for us.
Just think, Betty,
this is where we'll...
probably spend
the rest of our lives.
- Doesn't it give you
a wonderful sense of security?
Now, then, everything's
gotta be scheduled.
Can't leave anything to chance.
Farming's a big enough gamble as it is.
Now by June we should have
at least a half-dozen sucklings.
We'll have a calf in July.
Then, along about August, we can begin
to figure on more important offspring.
- Oh, darling.
- Maybe 500 or 600 of them.
- 500, 600 what?
- Chicks, of course.
Maybe even more
if we're lucky.
I'd like to raise something
besides chickens, you know.
Oh, we'll have plenty of those too.
I'm counting on at least four.
Maybe even five.
Three boys and two girls, huh?
- All at once?
- Oh, no, one at a time.
