We’re liking our temporary new neighborhood a lot.
It can’t compare with the Village in terms of quiet and nature, but hasn’t been that difficult of an adjustment.
There are lots of trees and many front yards are filed with flowers. I was a little sad at leaving my garden behind, so I ended up bringing two of the “deer-chomped” lantana plants with me. I figured they could do with some TLC in a gentler environment, plus I can putter around with them during the weeks that I have to stick close to home.
Well, as it turns out, there’s a huge bush of the exact same lantana plant just up the street from us! Very encouraging.
And finally, there’s a neighborhood cat who’s completely at home on the back deck. It comes pretty much every day and makes itself comfortable, even trying to come inside at one point (which we firmly discouraged).
