Sept. 15th marks our 16th year here in Lanark County. We awoke to sirens our first morning. Someone drinking, with a G2 licence, driving with two passengers, flipped their car on the curve at 7 a.m. Kinda weird waking to sirens.
We put the cats into crates early in the morning. The movers underestimated time and space. It was very difficult leaving it behind.

We drove late in the day to our new home. Cats were happy after I set up litter boxes. Sadie, Felix and Mitzie.

The trees on the left and right are now dead and gone due to Dutch Elm disease.
These elm trees died of Dutch Elm disease.
We put fencing across the front.

Former owners had cut the 'lawn' here. I've let it fill in and rewild. The sumacs are dying, maybe from drought.
Fall 2026
Tons of milkweed plants now!
2010 vs. 2026
2010 compared to 2026
The well had to go, as we needed to replace the well pump pipe. The Catalpa tree died, and we took it down this year.
2026
The space really opens up.
Our white pine tree, 2011:
Later on, in 2011, I built the goldfish pond.
