We had wondered what the hard freeze last month was going to do to the peach trees in Texas. Vince sent me this picture today of them blooming.
He said it made him kinda sad that they were blooming and we were leaving. I said “It makes me sad too but it made me very happy to drive about 15 minutes to get to the dermatologist!” I had to go to Abilene for a dermatologist so that was about a two hour drive each way and in normal times, would mean a trip to Sam’s Club because we didn’t have one in our town, a trip to Lowe’s because there was always something they had that Home Depot didn’t have that Vince needed, a trip to T. J. Max for something neither of us needed, eating out and then driving back home, which made for an all day trip.
Vince admitted . . moving there was the right thing . . but I know it’s hard for him. I was going through pictures on my phone last night and seeing Cat, the garden this time of year, the chickens, the fruit trees . . it makes me sad too but once Vince is here and we figure out what our short term plans are going to be and get started on those things, I think we’ll both not think so much about what we left behind.

Change can be so bittersweet. Your brain knows it’s best, but the heart…well, the heart has more feelings

It’s that way about so many things, isn’t it?

It really is a case of those pro/con lists. There are always going to be things you miss and are sad about. But as long as the “pro” list remains longer than the “con” list, it is all good!

I LOVE looking at the pictures of our former yards/gardens/fruit trees – they always make me smile. AND, then I remember some of the “not so nice things” – all the mowing, all the digging, all the clearing, etc. and don’t miss those things at all, LOL.
