I ...Oh how I know the feeling and my yard is small! I can't imagine how people keep up with much larger ones. But I also have to keep in mind that I do work outside of the home and have a house to keep up too. We've contemplated moving, but for different reasons...our neighborhood is going downhill. But I love seeing your gardens and all that great things you do! I'm sure no matter where you'll go, you'll work wonders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-65600099530768330072009-08-31T18:18:50.579-05:002009-08-31T18:18:50.579-05:00It's so sad to see houses fall into disrepair....It's so sad to see houses fall into disrepair.

This house is almost an exact replica of my great-grandfather's home, in the sticks.<br /><br />It' actually looks like his did when his children finally said, "Dad you have to move out. This is unsafe."<br /><br />I'm sure my great aunts and uncles, the looks of their old homeplace was a sad looking pile of rubble just like this picture. <br /><br />However, for a not even five year old child, this home represents the character of a Soldier, a grandfather, a strong man who raised 6 children on his on after losing his wife.<br /><br />It represents, chickens running loose in the yard, an old tire swing hanging from one of those trees behind the house, an old outhouse somewhere in the woods. It represents the simple life of love and grandpa.<br />Great post!<br /><br />I imagine there is a porcelain wash pan just inside with a mirror attached to the side, where grandpa shaved daily with a straight razor. And, I just bet there are wood floors with some funky paint outlining the edge of the tile that didn't quite fit the entire room. Those ladder back chairs call out to the old farmers who sat on the porch, telling their stories while chewing and spitting in a spitoon.<br /><br />This has potential for a beautiful tale of enchantment. And. . . Jo, I can't imagine living in this house!

I know it took me about five years of contemplating before leaving my home town of Boulder before coming up here to the Pacific Northwest, but it's been just the right thing. And we divested ourselves of at least half of our belongings and it feels good!DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-35644869755449878352009-08-31T13:12:11.792-05:002009-08-31T13:12:11.792-05:00This is a great picture of a fixer-uper, and is ex...This is a great picture of a fixer-uper, and is exactly the condition of our present home.
