Change is Good

Sweetcultivator is moving. Wait, don't change your bookmark. I mean the dear kid and I are picking up stakes and leaving an unfortunate house with too many series of adverse events. Our home is an older rental home in which we have endured no air conditioning, no heat, bad plumbing, floors falling through, water damage, black mold, lack of proper insulation and Nazi neighbors. I am tied to the area for two more years until the dear kid graduates from high school but then I already knew I wanted to move. We are giving up the house for the duration for a shiny beautiful apartment with energy efficient qualities, lots of windows and lots of beautifully landscaped grounds for walking. The swmming pool will be cool too, no pun intended.

I am going to miss my garden, like losing my best friend. It will be nice for a while to not have to chop weeds and cut grass but I had cultivated some treasures that without even a balcony, will have to be let go. I am giving a few that can be salvaged to a family member and selling my collection of tools and supplies. To stave off depression, I checked out a big stack of library books on houseplants and indoor gardening.

I already have a lot of plans in the works for growing herbs, indoor containers, etc. Maybe I'll even explore bonzai. The Sweetcultivator will still be cultivating and we will have a warm, safe, beautiful home again.

Change is good.
