Chloe loves the Florida summer here, but she does try to avoid direct sun with her heavy fur coat; today she chose to shelter behind our barbecue grille, but still wanted to be seen so posed in her cutest way:
It’s strange to talk about moving house, and to arrive back at 8002 which we’ve owned now for more than five years and already lived here for nearly six months this year – but now we’ve completed the sale of our Gloucester, Massachusetts home, and own only 8002, I guess we have moved!
All the best to new owners, Pete & Tara; and goodbye, for now, to our neighbors and good friends Pat & Dave, and Joanne & Earle, and their families.
A couple months ago, before we left 8002, I took pictures of the garden, including the Silk Floss tree that we grew from seed (see last years post). On our return, the Silk Floss tree has grown a lot; here’s my attempt to frame the picture the same:
Stepping back enough to see the whole tree, and close-up of the spikes on the trunk:
If it grows this much in two months, what’s it going to be like next summer?!
