Nostalgia

Blog 65 …

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood in Kannapolis City’s Knollwood Drive is a Brick and wood Farmhouse, my temporary home away from home.  I always dread residential moves and changes, but already, the Pine, Magnolia, Oak, Crepe Myrtles and varied trees and bushes lining the paths to my 'temp house', and along the pleasant secondary roads into which I walked many steps the past week, have charmed my eyes and warmed my heart.  I do yearn for my Greensboro home’s backyard ornamental bamboo trees and pergola.  I miss my front of the house picture windows, my wide decks and walkways time and time again visited by hustling gray or brown squirrels, and colorful native birds.  The travel to Knollwood Drive, miles and miles of it from my Jason Road Cottage in Greensboro City would be cumbersome and weary for a while, but in the long run, I hope that it engenders meaningful memories made there and spice up the new ones yet to be experienced in the interim home.
