We’re saying good-bye to our home of 42 years.
I haven’t posted photos for a while. Increasingly, I feel uninspired on cloudy, overcast days, and we have had a lot of those this winter. But here are the photos I did shoot. They were all all taken in Massachusetts, with the exception of the last one, my Providence granddaughter’s Model Magic dragon.
Happy Year of the Dragon!
First comes the big snowfall we had in early January, then the bleak, rainy days that came after the snow melted. The river is the Sudbury. The river photo is followed by a memorial at the neighboring hospital, where everyone from our community goes, at least initially, when they have an emergency.
I think it’s good to be reminded what it was like in the early days of the pandemic.
Finally the sun came out. I took photos of the footbridge over Nashoba Brook, which was hurrying along as if it were spring already. Also in sunshine, a mossy-roofed shed caught my eye.
Do you see balconies next? After the balconies, is the train depot. I was there in the early morning to catch the train to Boston for annual checkups at MGH. While in town, I also took a shot of the Beacon Hill area off Charles Street.
PS All dragons smile, if we know how to look at them.

I really liked seeing these, on another overcast day here, especially the snow covered trees. I relate to feeling unmotivated with too many cloudy days in a row.
It’s kind of a new thing for me to be that dependent on sunshine, but here we are.
A lot of memories in a house of 42 years! Hope you are ready to say goodbye. What’s your next step?
We moved last June to a retirement community that we like. It’s in the same town.
Glad you like your new space. Have you met nice neighbors in the community?
Yes, indeed. And my old life continues on the same as before.
What a lovely home! Was it very hard to leave? Those snowy pictures are beautiful, and what a sweet dragon. Definitely smiling.
It wasn’t painful to leave — it felt like the right time. But downsizing was a lot of work.
Always so good when that happens.
Love the snow photos! Your old home looks lovely with its snow icing. That dragon is cute!
We expect another big snow this week. Will try for more photos.
