We are now in very sunny North Dakota. The sun is too bright here. It fades everything so quickly. We've been here since mid-March. We bought a house that needed the basement to be finished. There were 3 months of construction and most of our stuff was still packed in boxes in the garage while the construction was ongoing. This included all of my book. I had no idea how much my bookshelves full of books were like a security blanket for me until this. After 5 months of living here, the construction was finished in time for my birthday in July. Then there was all the unpacking that then had to be done in the basement rooms. We are only just now hanging photos and artwork. Hopefully by Christmas it will feel more like home and be cooler outside.
