a view to purchasing ...Thoreau's Journal: 8-Mar-1853
I know of no more pleasing employment than to ride about the country with a companion very early in the spring, looking at farms with a view to purchasing if not paying for them.
it is very nice to have all the ingredients there for something that warms our spirit,a ride in the country with a close companion,with the weather as it should be,looking and talking about purchasing a farm,debating the pro's and con's and wondering how it will effect your life, sharing the experience with a friend! its a good example of a happy time as any.
I like the window shopping activity alluded to. It's so hard to do for houses/farms because you are looking for a purpose - not an idle amble by. At the same time it's so easy because, as it's a big purchase you can afford to be picky.
