Ready to Leave Another Home I Love ???

 I came downstairs and looked around this abode, Mister has lovingly provided for me and the girls . I am so grateful that I am able to live in serenity and beauty ...where I raised two beautiful girls, 

                                                               plus a husband.

               Soon I will be leaving this house, which my hand has made it a home.

 For 9 years, I have toiled in my little "ranch" of pumpkins, gourds, corn, vegetables of every kind, flowers and butterflies.

 I have enjoyed early morning spring visits of my hummingbird friends that hungrily sucked the sweet nectar off my roses.

                       The walls I have painted with my hearts desire. Made beauty out of a raggedy  Goodwill Thrift store find, or garage sale picks to decor this abode.

                                 The Fall and Halloweens were hauntingly joyful.

                                                 The Christmases were merry.

                               Summers were fun and birthdays were memorable.

... and first days of school? well, I would drop them at the bus stop, because they would be so excited to see new faces and make friends, and I would follow the bus in my car and cry weewewe to school and all the way home.

I have made friends with neighbors and rubbed shoulders with the known and the unknown. My girls have invited both friends and their pets into my lawn and I have watched their somersaults.

Tell me, oh, tell me, should we leave this place that bore deep engravings to our soul ?
               ( well, at least for us - Mister ached to relocate)
When this "home sweet home" sells, he (Mr.) will retire. Until then, I would be utterly delighted to stay.
