Well today marks a new day. In March of this year,2013, My Hubs and I went from renting a huge five bedroom home to a small two bedroom cottage by the river. I LOVE it! Its very charming, old, has a a lot of character. We made this move because, we went from having five children to one, our 14 year old son. I am feeling the empty nest whatever you call them and dont really know how to deal with it. I am doing my best not to overwhelm my much older children now with "How are you, and You havent called in a awhile". I know they have their lives. Still it is nice when they stay in touch, even with a text "Hi Mom". Also to keep my very curious, active, 14 year busy so that He too becomes and mature young man I can be proud of... I am already of him, I want to stay that way :) He is a good kid.
I have a really cute area where we park our car for a garden, I put in pansies, daffies,tulips and such for spring. Have pretty little bird feeders so the birds can come and our Cat Romeo can "talk" with them. LOL!
I do like that backyard area is fenced in so that when our grandkids come over they can play safely :)
We have already had a wonderful Easter Egg hunt for the first time. it was fun! I also have a peach tree and a lilac tree, they are lovely to look at in full bloom, all pink and purple!!
I sit outside either in the evenings or mornings drinking coffee, thinking about how good it feels to know that I have raised my children to take care of their lives... sure it did take some time with some of them, and from what my kids went through growing up, seeing, and experiencing in their young lives, I can hope that they learned something from it, as hard as it was to go through.
