I never thought I'd miss MO, or our house. I never thought I'd miss as much as I do.
I miss a lot of things from our previous home. Not just the home, or lack of sharing a wall with another family, I miss the signs of spring around our house. I miss the chorus of birds that sing. I really don't want to list all the things I miss, it will just make me more sad. I'm trying to overcome these feelings. To transition from that way of living to the current way. I missed it so much though, that I stopped at our house on my recent trip back and took a couple of pictures of what I'm missing out on.
I feel very sad about no longer being able to enjoy the presence of...

| My tulips were up. Even the pretty purple and yellow weeds were blooming! |
 |
The 2 Bradford pear trees were in full bloom. The lilac bush in the background had green leaves!
I even saw the green leaves of the day lilies my MIL and I planted around a tree. |

| One of my favorite streets to travel in spring, it's lined with Bradford Pear trees! |

Yes, I took these 2 while driving. I just put the camera on the steering wheel and pushed the button, hoping it'd be decent!

| Not my house, but one of my favorite spring trees! |

| Tulip Magnolia also called Saucer Magnolia |
Sigh.
My view at our new home is so NOT picture worthy.
I tried to take a picture of the sunrise one morning, this is what I got.

Cue the song "Little Boxes"
|
Sure, I took that from inside, looking out my front window. That is pretty much my view from any window or door. There was a sunset that was particularly stunning but the rows of little boxes just ruined it. I know, I know. Leave the row of little boxes and get to a better vantage point. By the time I'd get there the sunset/sunrise would be gone or changed and not as awesome as when I first saw it. Gone are the days of just stepping out my door and getting shots like this

I guess I have to work for the shots now. No more lazy photographer!
