May 19, 2005 8:47 PM- movin' on out, redux

Doesn't it seem like only yesterday I was arriving at this rental bone-weary, covered in muck with no hot water for a shower?

Turn. Turn. Turn.

And here we are ready to pack up the guff and head to yet another temporary abode. We have a tiny studio apartment from May to August, but T is also building an apartment above the garage so we can start sleeping up there as soon as next weekend. So, I guess the studio apartment is really my pied-a-terre en ville. All I need now is a lover for assignations . . ha ha (JUST KIDDING, T!!).

As it was my last night here where I had luxury of wandering about without feeling it necessary to start packing boxes (I can do that all tomorrow, non?) I took some parting shots, as it were.

In fact, I even went around to the front of the house and took some pics of the lovely sylvan (oft-neglected woods).

But it didn't last long, for I ask you, who can resist that view . . .

You know that lady who wrote that song about the "purple mountain majesties?" Yeah. I think she had this place before us.



got 2 cents?

Not to spit in your coleslaw, but that line was inspired by a view from Pikes Peak. Ms. Katharine Lee Bates wrote it in 1893 on a trip to Colorado. NOT that I'm saying your view isn't spectacular. It is! But, I have to give in to my OCD tendencies on this one. And I live in Colorado, so in order to retain my mountain bike, skis, and granola, I have to defend our state. :)

Looking at mountains? Much preferable to packing boxes.

Ah, beautiful, I'm going to miss New England. Enjoy the view! P.S. I'm dealing with the oh-so NOT fun of packing, too. Two more weeks.
