I'm a home owner!

Closed today! Due to past struggles and circumstances I can't control I thought, at times, that it could never happen.

I'm moving from a deep blue city to a slightly lighter blue (but still really blue!) city.

Congratulations!! I have not had mine long and am slowly working towards my goal of replacing the lawn with native plants. It is going to be a long process, but I enjoy it.
