Hey there! It’s never too late to try again as long as we are still alive and kicking!
I think I am like a cat. Change being very difficult. This morning I woke up wondering if we had done the right thing to make our porch a bit bigger and our yard a bit smaller. Before the sun was up, I was like “what have we DONE” and now the sun is up, I’m good with it. Seeing walkways magically re-appear is probably helping. And my knee is going to like the slightly shallower step rise.
The next thing will be a bit of concrete curb to keep grass out of my garden area by our front retaining wall. Next summer, planting should be easy! I’ll also have some room in the sun by the porch now.
At any rate, so far the weather is not depressing me, though I am starting to take my vitamin D again. I can take sun and cold. Grey freezing fog and cold, not so much.
