Some childless couples spend all their expendable income on the theater, some on travel, some on clothes--we do it on our homes. The house we left in Arlington was a tiny 2-bedroom box that we re-created inside and out over a period of 28 years into something completely our own, and it was a showplace--literally stopped traffic. Here, we are "new home owners" in the literal sense--we own a brand new home. We have a blank canvas to fill in. If you're "house people," that's a gift!Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007305231270037503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-85708533197541299442011-05-09T09:00:09.444-04:002011-05-09T09:00:09.444-04:00Just noticed that you've made a bit of a comeb...Just noticed that you've made a bit of a comeback! The blogosphere may still be alive and well but certainly depleted by your absence! Good to see you again!<br /><br />You've done a fantastic amount of work on your property - I envy your energy and creativity. Around our house, where it drops is where it remains. We depend on the perennials to keep doing what they're doing - Lord knows we haven't been much of a help!<br /><br />Always wishing you the best!<br /><br />- JeffJeffhttp://www.LazarusDodge.Wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-70115650420769472722011-04-29T08:03:32.057-04:002011-04-29T08:03:32.057-04:00Thank you, dear Nan.

I've always thought you have more of a facility for quietening down than I have--it's something I need to work on. <br /><br />I do google reader, too, and boy do I pay if I skip a day or two. The blogosphere is alive and well, with or without my two cents! As always, I'll continue to do my part occasionally to add to the cacophony.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007305231270037503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-76307284469286409062011-04-29T06:34:35.802-04:002011-04-29T06:34:35.802-04:00Loved the post and the photos, Ralph.

I am glad you are finding community and seeing humility in knowing it has been well-established before your arrival. Isn't it amazing how life continues to give us opportunities to grow and stretch our thinking and feeling?<br /><br />Regarding frequency of blogging - of course you should blog when you want to, and I am glad to hear you say you won't end the blog - just write here when the spirit moves you.<br /><br />For me, blogging is still my way of catching my breath amidst the busy days and evenings. I try to inhale here deeply a couple times a week -- and find I still enjoy the Google Reader for telling me when blogs have new content. Yay for that!<br /><br />Stay safe in all the storms.nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445777687088584603noreply@blogger.com
