UPDATE TIME!
Wow, it's been a while since popping in to update my blog. Since my last posting from October of 2019 a lot has happened. I guess time flies while listing a house for sale, showing it, selling it packing up and moving. And oh what a move it was. Once the house sold it was full speed ahead and dang near killed us. We never would have made it without the help of several people, but especially my son and grandson who made several trips helping load, unload, reload and unload over and over again. Driving 3 hours one direction with each trip. Fourteen trailer loads full. Long story short, moving from a semi-remote area and not having time to hire a moving company made for some craziness at times. But we survived and have settled in nicely.
We moved into a new to us 20 year old house located closer to family. We are no longer on the edge of town but once again country bumpkins and absolutely loving it. We start almost every day sitting on the covered porch having coffee, watching the bunnies and listening to the birds. We end almost every day the same way. Sometimes at night the owls serenade us to sleep. Who wouldn't love that?!
Its interesting getting to know your new surroundings. We moved from living on sand and having a dry lawn to a constant green lawn. Loving it! I've discovered several plants like lilies, hostas, ferns and daffodils in the strangest places like an old abandoned garden and in the edge of the woods itself. Luckily we found rhubarb and hopefully it will do well next year. The plants have been transplanted into more suitable places.
We had a rock pile on the end of the lawn with weeds all over it where the rain gutter comes off the edge of the house and then was buried to spill out to the rocks. It was a mess. That has been transformed into a little pond with some of the plants placed around it. It's a project in the making but already has improved the scenery.
