Our New Neighborhood...

The movers arrived on November 9 at 8 a.m. for a long day of work. Bob and Jan generously loaned us their car so that we could bring over several loads of stuff ourselves. Sally, my guardian angel, spent a few hours at the new house unloading books onto the bookcases so we could clear out some of the boxes in the overloaded storage room. The movers didn’t think that they’d be able to get our US queen-sized boxspring up the stairs, but luckily they were able to and we were all able to sleep in our own beds on the first night in our new place. The next afternoon, the next door neighbors dropped by to welcome us with these flowers, which were temporarily housed in a blender until I could find a vase.
We cycle along this canal around the corner as a shortcut to the grocery store. Check out the Dutch lawnmowers! When I noticed the sheep eating the grass,  I made a return trip to capture it with my camera.
Veronica was happy to feed the swans that regularly float past our backyard.
