Athens arrival
We've
arrived! It was a bit of a shock to show up and find the overgrown
parcel we'd bought cleared and turned into a construction site. But
we'll appreciate the septic system when it's done, and in the meantime
are thoroughly enjoying settling into our new digs.
To my surprise, the
herbs and strawberries I left behind during our closing trip are alive
and well. The mushroom logs I used to protect the greenery from deer
produced a flush while we were gone, but otherwise our beginning of a
new garden hasn't missed a beat.
Mostly, though, we're
focusing on zone 0 this week. Scrubbing and mopping, moving in, buying
furniture at the thrift store (they deliver!), and generally getting
used to the area are top of our list. More on the move-in process next
time we stop by the library for our internet fix.

Yay!!! first word that comes to mind. Looking forward to your new adventures. Are you in a different plant zone now?
Your trailer looks a bit unlevel--maybe this is a trick of the perspective?
I'm sure you are on top of all this!
Oh the locals are abuzz! "Someone moved a trailer on to the old (insert name of people who have not lived there in twenty years) place"
Good luck to ya!
It's not official until we see that tin mailbox on a post at the end of the driveway.
