We still love our home

So I ripped out a garden by the mailbox. I replanted the dwarf irises, removed the black knight invasive salvia and moved in a purple coneflower. It's not the best time of year to transplant but it was necessary. I kept thinking why am I investing two hours into this garden. Well, it was overgrown of course. As long as I still own it the maintenance must be done. It is a future gift to the new resident. A garden that won't need much tending for about four years.

Not only that, but I want the future the owner of this home to know that we loved this home. We prepared it for showing in less than two weeks time, we continued to maintain and love it through the end. I think that is important.

Some people sell their homes and stop watering the lawn. Some people stop caring for and loving their homes. That is not our style and I pray that the next owners are blessed from our diligence. I pray for the future family that lives here.
