Relative Something

Holy cow, my dear readers, how far things have come in one year! Last night, as I was walking the quarter-mile length up our driveway, in the enticing rural darkness, (returning from having dropped off the trash bin for morning pickup) I felt a wave of sensation about how much has changed from our previous life. We have now been living at our new place for a whopping 4 months.

It got me to thinking about where our lives were at a year ago. When I got back in the house, I went online and paid a little visit to the “Previous Somethings” link on the right margin. I picked February, 2012.

There I found an image of trees weighted down by ice and snow, and I had written about a storm. Cyndie had just been home from Boston, to visit for a weekend. It was February 28, 2012, when I wrote the following:

We have lived in the house on this lot for about 25 years. Just 3 days ago, Cyndie and I met with a realtor to begin the process of selling this home, and buying a horse farm.

Whoa! What a trip. Not a long, strange trip, though. It feels like it has been a fast, thrilling ride. And I’m not just talkin’ about the tractor.
