i didn't think i would be so affected by this…

today, i took a walk about my place. my tulips, iris, daffodil, and lillies are coming up…so are my grapes, cherry trees, peach trees, maple trees, and my river birch looks like it made it through the winter. my dogs followed me around and i felt a tear roll down my cheek as i realized i was leaving almost 15 years of work and the new owner would see the results of my labor. i know, i know. i am too old to take care of a place like this and i cannot afford to do what is necessary and the new owner is a nice lady and will take over where i left off. it still saddens me to leave my place and my dogs.
