THEN & NOW

The wide open blue skies, the fruit laden trees which line the sidewalks, the free roaming rabbits on the greenways, parents and children on bikes riding together, along with people strolling and jogging on the pathways, all create a deja vu feeling in me of peacefulness - an awakening of a time before. A time before 'co-op'.

Gigantic willow trees, budding chestnut trees, the abundance of apple trees and even insects intrigue me. Things just gently flow together.

Whether sitting on a bench or strolling on the pathways, there's often a nod of civility towards one other.

And then one day there was a knock at our door.
