That all sounds so great! Lovely to hear.It is also more bearable leaving now that our new place is looking nice. I am starting to dream of not doing all this work constantly. I'm also starting to do little things for myself before others
If happy, well-adjusted kids are proof of a job well done yours definitely has you graduating summa cum laude.I think it's the sense of accomplishment with the house and raising a kid and feeling like I did the mom/caretaker thing well!
I brought out bags and told them to pick all the apples they could for themselves and their friends, and they were so happy.
Always finding silver linings: you´re awesome!Anyway, the yard officially does not look remotely like home, so I am feeling like I am in a resort with a mowed down landscape outside. You can see more of the lovely forest this way, so once the land heals again, it should be nice for the new owners.
Oh no! That sounds kind of sad. But I am glad, as the others say, that you are able to see the silver lining in it all. I hope future owners will love and care for the land as you have.It rained again, and the yard got so happy, but then the landscapers chopped down a huge hedgerow and raked away all my nice mulch for the trees and such.
That is really great to hear.And doing things for myself makes it feel like I can slow down and enjoy life, even if for a few minutes here and there.
Crossing my fingers so hard for the house to sell at the BEST price asap.
wonderful! So nice that they will move with you--I bet they are happy to stay with you as well!the woman whose house we are moving to - would love all the plants the realtor doesn't want to go here, so her gardener is getting them tomorrow!
Again wonderful! So nice to get such good feedback from a professional. Especially after all the hard work you put in!He says I am a natural interior designer, which made me happy. I can do upscale - surprise!
I bet!Done, done, done - can't wait for done!
Nice way to look at it! Yes hopefully a lot less pressure than the packing up too!I don't mind unpacking. It's like getting all your treasures back,
I hope you got your tea figured out!But first I need to find a way to heat up water for tea!!
so she's gained a lot of weight, and already was round
Yes please!Maybe your cat can start her own diary page here
We may have to start a new section in the forum for our pets. Archie would be in that. His could be a maintenance thread. He only eats when hungry & stops when he's had enough. *sigh* Smart dog! Edit: I started a new thread- Pets in the off-topic sectionI'll ask Lumi the cat if she'd like a diary page! That would be really fun!!
It will never be like that ever again.May we never ever ever need to do a big move again!
but they were still filming near dusk!
So good--will be nice, I'm sure, to finally be able to move on!ust a few days left of fussing over the old house. Then onward!!
