When MeMa and I purchased our home it was just to be a starter home. Make a few improvements inside and out and then sell and move to the country where we had plans of starting a boarding kennel.
Well our first mistake was falling in love with the house and making improvements that suited us both. It is very hard to leave when you have no desire to do so. So 44 years later we are still here and here we will stay.

Yes, I actually ignored the isolation order and crossed the street to get this photo.
Love the "New Garden". So you are not allowed out for a walk. At least you can walk in your lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteWe are allowed out for walks, but I do spend most of my day in the privacy of the back gardens. We are having some terrific weather.
DeleteTwo trees and a flag!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a movie title.
DeleteYou've made it such a wonderful retreat, definitely no reason to leave now.
ReplyDeleteBless you all, Doc.
Thanks Linda, yep no place to go but home.
DeleteThis house is so like the Sears-Roebuck I grew up in. A window seat on the side! The east? Ours was on the east.

DeleteNo window seat but this old craftsman is full of old world charm
I have always been fascinated by Monkey Puzzle trees. I really should have planted one.
ReplyDeleteVery nice specimen tree that attracts a lot of attention. Unfortunately if not maintained quickly become a sad eyesore.
