The future of our space and time

Our realtor here called to ask if the new owners of our house could send their contractor over to take some measurements to get an estimate for the completion of the new fence. It suddenly seemed weird to remember that while we are looking at photographs of our new house-to-be and thinking of all the things we'll do to make it home, someone else is gazing lovingly at the pictures of THIS house and picking out their paint colours, or stranger still, thinking how much they adore beige.

This home, in spite of its blandness, has been a good home to us. We have been comfortable here. We have been warm. And mostly, happy.
