Chronicles of Lafayette Street

After spending day after day inside cleaning out the house and pricing all of our garage sale treasures for this Saturday's sale, I woke up to the sun peeking through my curtains inviting me outside from the second I opened my eyes this morning!  I enjoyed a cup of coffee and today's paper outside under our fig tree (still barren from the harsh winter) while the pups sunbathed at my feet.  Spring is getting close!  I've  mentioned in my previous posts, how we will miss this old house but the property, ahhh! how we will miss the living off the land, fig, grapefruit, pear, and bay-leaf trees keep me busy all spring!  We will definitely be making a produce run once a month to enjoy the plethora of fresh fruits and herbs! I spent the morning clipping bay-leaves and picking ripe grapefruit to sell this weekend at the garage sale, what a great way to enjoy the arrival of spring!

some of us will miss the location more than 'living off the land'. You can keep the grapefruit & the pears & the figs! But oh how I'll miss the nice walks to the lakefront (& the local bars)!! Haha
