Settling
Well, the move is done and I've spent a week living in the new place. There's still a lot of unpacking and figuring out of things to be done. The new place is nice and fairly quiet. I need to get some curtains for the bedroom since it's well-lit outside at night and a lot of light gets in around/through the blinds.
One thing I sure don't miss is Loud Bird. He's a robin that perched in a tree outside the old place and declared his robin studmuffin-ness to the world at dawn and dusk with his volume turned up to 11. There's a mockingbird who likes to perch on a light post outside the new place now and then and sing, but he's not annoying.
There are definitely a lot of frogs living nearby now. Going outside at night it sounds like the soundtrack from a swamp scene in a movie.
