Well.. we’ve decided to try and sell the house. For lots of reasons…not important right now. There is no urgency, there are no demands being put on us (other than the pressure of getting it ready to list- but we imposed that on ourselves).
We’ve been working on odd jobs. Cleaning up the yard, mulching, scraping [...]

We live on a hill. The front yard is [...] -
