The first thing I’m asked lately is why I’m so intent on keeping a house that’s both too big and too expensive. Today, on the first day of the rest of my life, I’ll play show and tell.
This morning, taking my dog Digger for his walk, I could hear the soft, rhythmic knocking of a wood pecker, see the signs of deer by a concealed Apple tree, and hear various other songbirds tweeting their way through the morning. And this is what I see from my side yard. Who wouldn’t try to keep it?
