Our open house came and went with everyone loving the farm, but no one handing us an offer.... sigh. The two huge yellow maples in the front and side yard kindly held on to the last of their leaves until the open house ended. We got rid of the majority of our leaf load last week in preparation for the Sunday showing, but these two maples were still magnificent and fairly glowing in their fall clothes. As if they were holding their breaths for us on Sunday, Monday they relaxed and released all the hangers on.
Today is perhaps the last of the really beautiful fall days, so I headed to the store to buy fixings for a grilled steak dinner while Dave and Lewis worked on those leaves. I should say Dave worked on the leaves.....Lewis jumped into the piles after his ball or his fish and came up decorated with leaves and sticks all over his curly little body. What fun he had!
The cottage build is coming along and if we don't get this farm sold we'll have two houses to look after. Weren't we trying to downsize?
The cottage is looking good. Sorry you haven't gotten an offer yet :-(
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle when I read about Lewis in the leaves. I can just see him jumping in and throwing leaves all over trying to find his ball or fish. I really miss that big guy!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are beautiful (especially since we don't have to rake them)! Why won't someone buy this gorgeous place!!! This waiting is so hard! Hang in there:)
The cottage looks great! Stay warm! Looks like a beautiful day today (Tuesday) but brrrr, tomorrow!
I was so hoping we could share good news after the open house :-( . Perhaps the house selling mojo is waiting for the cottage to be complete so you can make a smooth transition......and the buyers are checking their finances! Those maple trees are glorious! We have Liquid Amber trees here that just turned last week and they are such deep reds and oranges and golds - the colors still amaze me every year :-) Lewis has the right idea!
ReplyDeleteYour cottage looks very cute, can't wait for a tour and I'm just sure the right farm buyer is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteIt only takes one out of a hundred! But your cottage looks cozy and I sure Lewis and Shasha would just be fine that you are not traveling this winter.
