After five years of living here, and not seeing lights on in the barn apartment unless we had friends staying there, I can honestly say that it's nice to see life over there now. Not only life, but Christmas lights as well.
My husband bought three boxes of Christmas lights and gave them to M, thinking that he may want to decorate his front porch and balcony with the tiny white lights. M did just that, and when I went outside a little while ago to plug in our own Christmas lights, I saw that the front of the barn apartment is looking very festive. When my husband comes home from work, he'll be pleased to see all the little white lights over there. Actually, now that both the house and the barn are decorated with lights, the guest cottage is looking quite dark and lonely. We need more tiny white lights!
M completed a major chore yesterday... he mowed the tall grass by the pond, and he picked up all the dead branches that had dropped from the big pecan tree down there. The result is astounding.... the pond looks all dressed up and decked out for Christmas, and even M himself seemed to be very pleased with what he accomplished yesterday. After he was done working, I saw him just standing in the pasture looking from one end of the pond to the other, raising his arms just a bit before he turned back towards the house, as if he was saying "So there! Look at how great this looks!"
I can already see that M is taking pride in the work he's doing here, and being that my husband is such a perfectionist with this property, I know he's pleased also.
