It has been a year since we moved into this house. Last year I wrote about how all of us were head over heels in love with the new house here, if at all anything the fondness has only grown stronger this past year. I must confess that it is a resource consuming exercise just to keep up with the day to day maintenance of the house let alone undertaking any home improvement projects. This past year, we have seen perennials wilt in the winter and spring to life as the seasons changed. We have muttered under our breath clearing mountains and mountains of snow from our driveway. The blue jays and cardinals have delighted us with their singing and dancing in our backyard. We have learnt that as pretty as the dandelions are, they can wreak havoc on our lawn. The school bus stop at the corner of the street has Atul aspiring for elementary and high school. The friendly neighbors and the local community have only made the experience complete by extending a support system.
Did I mention that we have added a lot of personal touch to the house - the kitchen flooring has gotten duller with food stains, the walls bear our finger prints, a scratch here and a crack there; I realize that it these marks that make this house a home, our sweet home!
