Thoreau part 2

We woke early this morning to the sound of the bullfrogs and birds hovering about the pond.
Gradually, as the morning developed the lilies expanded gently to reveal pure color amongst the green pads. We sipped coffee on the balcony watching a small chipmunk ferret around for some sunflower seeds.






Its sinking in gradually now; that we have begun a new life  over here and there is much to do. I will apply for a mortgage in the next few weeks and plan to get my US driver's license too.
We drove north via the hills of northern Pennsylvania yesterday; mile after mile of tree covered hills that were outstandingly beautiful. I have never seen so many huge trees!




Nicholas


Today we are visiting Mom and Daddy in Rochester, NY. 
They wanted to give Nicholas a very special (belated) birthday gift...
An American flag which will decorate the front of our new house. It is made by the same company that embroidered the flag that graced Lincoln's grave.
A piece of history.
A piece of future.
