Wow! When I decided to leave my treasured home that Phil and I built it was a very hard decision. Age got in my way. Being 81 and still tractoring started to feel like a chore and not fulfilling to me anymore. I miss it everyday. I miss my beautiful Koi. My turtles who moved in without asking. My lame duck who I fed everyday. What keeps me going is the wonderful memories I have living and building with Phil. He made it fun and interesting. On a hot day he would swim in the pond and come out covered in algae! Drinking a glass of wine while we floated around the pond in our little boat we rescued in the street culvert! The list goes on and on. For now I hope you and Loretta enjoy all that surrounds you. Hugs and love!

This is so very beautiful. I especially love the section about who will love the land after you and know all the little things that make it flourish. Tore at my heart.
