    1. All of our close friends have moved, about 4 households. While we have many acquaintances, some closer than others, I just don’t have the interest and willpower to build close friendships with these people. Love them, don’t want closer relationships.

    2. My neighborhood has changed over decades, and is now is full of people who are not my tribe.

    It’s time to turn the management of my neighborhood and this part of the city over to the young families and checkbook rehabbers now living here. Kid focused stuff does not interest me and people who moan because they cannot get someone to install their new bathroom tile bore me.

    This child focused, non DIY world—-these are not my people.

    The criminal element, bless their hearts, remains pretty much the same over decades. the RESPONSE to criminals has changed dramatically, see Ferguson effect. That is hard to live with.

    Update on mown daylilies.

    This is after raking the bed of leaves. It looks great and was a very easy rake.

    How big is your yard if that is just one bed, Tybee?

    I was wondering the same thing! Would love a picture of everything in bloom.

    The house sits in a clearing in the woods. The clear is probably an acre and a half, maybe?

    Sounds like a dream location which usually does take a lot of work to maintain.

    We have actually learned we are not forest people. If you are, then yes, this is a dream location!
