Just one year ago we were empty nesters. Now we have our son, my mother, two cats and a dog living with us. It all sounds like a lot, but it is really a blessing.
The house still has areas that need work, but that can wait for now. This time of year, I am in love with the property!

YAY! You posted!
I would be in HEAVEN in your woods this time of year... hearing the leaves crunch underfoot, feeling the crisp air and smelling damp earth, watching the dog chase squirrels..... rewards for all the work and changes of the past year. You've earned them!
