the front
the backyard with the former owners' furniture
The closing went smoothly yesterday, and after an hour of signing such papers as 'We promise that if some piece of paper was missed today, we will return and sign it', we left owning a new home. The former owners planned to leave in their rental moving truck at 03:30 this morning, so Timothy and I will be on our way over there shortly. Paul loaded the car with things last night that I can unpack from the car like plates and clothes. Dad's coming over to dump a load of dirt he picked up for his yard but didn't need. We have a large hole (the former koi pond) to fill before Tim can run free in the back yard. These photos were posted by the real estate company that sold the house. We'll get our own up, but by posting these, I buy myself some time.
Walt Whitman's poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider" is the inspiration for the title of this blog, which is an attempt to remain connected to the people who have been part of my life.
