Wallace turns 50 today. We celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in May. We have just bought a 100+ year old house. Poetry....of sorts.
Eagerly and enthusiastically we pack the car and drive to Hawthorne Avenue. The previous night's party is only slightly evident. There is beer, wine, soda and bottled water to last 2 weeks or more which is a nice perk.
The work begins. A magnolia is trimmed back to allow a dumpster to be delivered.
The side porch gets cleared off, and the kitchen cabinets and appliances are removed revealing unimagined filth. I decide to prune bushes and clear out brush instead. My stomach will settle eventually, I hope.
