It was one year ago that we moved down to North Carolina.
The day the truck showed up at our old house, in the Hudson Valley, it was snowing, sleeting and icing.
all ready to go...
Ah, but yes, the ice and sleet followed us down here! The drive down was sunny and nice, but the move in day was more of the same. Our neighbors here were none too happy that we brought with us this awful scene!
At least it did make for excellent photo ops!
And this was my morning walk today. Quite a change.

And this is how we will end the day, just as we did one year ago:

ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, Libby! I'm sure NC has been good to you in the past year, and I know you've enjoyed decorating your new home. Enjoy your Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photographs! I'm not sure if I asked you this before but what part of NC did you move to? Im in the Wesley Chapel, Waxhaw area in South Charlotte and just love it here - and I don't miss the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
