A Moving Experience

Japanese Magnolia near the back corner of our new home, Knoxville.

 

Yesterday I drove to LaFayette, Georgia to empty our storage unit and load everything into a U-Haul truck. Now we have all our possessions at our new home, but a lot of stuff is in the garage, where it will remain while we gradually absorb it into the house. We refer to this state of things as being carried in, but not yet moved in.  (Realistically, some things will probably still be in the garage ten years from now!)

Japanese magnolias and other flowering trees have been blessing our little enclave with beauty for the last week or so. I made the picture of the one by the back corner of our home on Sunday afternoon. 

We enjoy the warm weather and the beauty, but we are worried that this bit of spring is just to early. A hard freeze could cause a black spring like the one we had in 2007, when we had two 22-degree nights in late April that turned the leaves on all the trees black.

Louise's birthday is today. 39 again!

The second edition of my book, Backroads and Byways of Georgia will be released in June, 2023.
