Good luck to you both as well, I hope the move goes smoothly! As far as the yard work you mentioned, you better believe that I am beyond happy to get rid of the 4.0 hour cutting sessions it would take to do the grass here!

From the picture I saw of your next place, it DOES look absolutely lovely! (I can’t wait to visit – we’ll be practically neighbours LOL.) And just think of the stress (and cost!) you’re relieving yourself of by not having to do renos on this next house! A big yard IS wonderful, but your little one and the pups will all adjust to the new lot size I’m sure, and maybe you’ll just end up taking more walks together around your new (and so cute!) community, rather than running around in the yard. (And just think: it’s waaay less lawn to take care of!) As for the knitting… well, the scarfs I’ve managed to date are really nothing more than elongated dishcloths LOL (fancier knitting to be mastered next winter, I hope!) Good luck with your move next week!!!

It’s so hard to pick a house when you are under the wire, we had 1.5 months to pick one and I cannot help but regret slightly our decision. I did NOT want to do renovations again so we chose a house lovely on the inside but it has almost no yard for the outside. I foresee an issue with one three year old and two dogs who are use to acres of land and who utilize every square inch of it. Good luck to you both!!! I hope you find a lovely home that you may not have to paint so you can focus more time on your knitting! ( so far all I can manage is dishcloths)
