Didn’t I just caulk that window
It was yesterday or two years ago,
But through it the wind will blow
Especially when the trees
Have no leaves
To slow the blow.

Everyday I find something new
Something to redo
To fix or replace out or in
Things to do never end
In this old home of mine

Wouldn’t have it any other way

I love this, Peter. My house is the same, and I love it passionately too, but I have to wait until I can afford somebody else to do the fixing.

Ah, an old house in the sticks. Not to be confused with the bat-cave... Nicely penned!

Home is our sanctuary. I am always having to fix something too but "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Peter, this snapshot of your home
made me smile...I felt like a
welcomed visitor come over for
coffee.

Of course, I brought chewy oatmeal
cranberry cookies with me.
