It's been too long. so much has happened. I still blame much on Covid and also find that events are dated by "pre-covid" or "during covid".
Excuses.
So, we sold the house; our beloved home of 32 years. We had hopes of new owners who would cherish & respect it; who would be steward of the 116 year old home as we were. It came down to taking the one & only offer we received. It hasn't gone well for the house and we are sad.
I miss the garden; the 60+ hostas, the primrose in spring, the dogwood tree we planted, the lovely patio we created.
Now we have a south facing balcony. New challenges new joys.
