T minus 5



T minus 5 days and counting.

We are in the final days before moving. It's been a long year so far.

The idea of moving began back in December in casual conversation. The thought lodged in the brain, planted deep and dormant, waiting for the right conditions to germinate.

2012 provided nourishment--the possibility of gas drilling in our area, future changes in the arts community, the lure of family.

By late January the seed had sprouted and was pushing it's way above ground. Maps and lists and Internet searches provided moisture. Pre-approval for a mortgage was an unexpected burst of nutrients. February came and a whirlwind trip to Indiana gave warmth and sunshine and fertile ground for a new dream.

The embryo has grown roots, stems, and leaves. 

Time will tell if the harvest is fruit or poison ivy.
