after moving so many times,
I have found it is easier to say goodbye...
if you don't put down deep roots...
still there are always things you miss
about a place and you leave a little piece of yourself, lost in the energy of
each place you live...
I think...
but you take things with you as well...
what I will miss about Chesapeake is the charm..
I just had to share the quaint and
Tiny
Farmers Market
which is located in Great Bridge under the tall pines
every Saturday morning...
I am a big supporter of Farmers Markets
This one is sweet and small
and corralled by a fence directly behind it
which protects the Revolutionary battlefield
of Great Bridge
these are photos of the old baskets that
lie just beyond the
fencing as you purchase your produce
in the lacy, tree lined, shade...
they are pretty fabulous are they not?
History is one of my weaknesses...
and I loved visiting these baskets each week...
but so is fresh produce and
flowers...
lots of tomatoes...
and a smattering of
baked goods...
which of course I cannot eat, because I am Gluten Free...
but lovely nonetheless...
but I think I will miss my morning walks
the most..
the herons and wading birds...
and all the ponds...
the water ways...
fortunately there is lots of water
where we are headed...
the studio is packed and
I will be taking a long
blog break...
to settle in and get unpacked...
I hope to be back in a couple of weeks...
to share photos of new gardens and new studio space..
see you soon!
C4N!

I wish you the best in your move. I'm sure it has gotten old by now. But I also look forward to seeing new gardens in your area, new Farmers Markets, and your new studio, too.
Enjoy the journey, dear friend.
Bon Voyage
The area you have lived in is beautiful (I loved living in VA, except for the humidity) but soon you will have another place to call home and it shall be grand!
xo
have a good goodbye, a good move and welcome to your new home. x looking forward to seeing your new home and studioxx lynda
Dear E, I will probably drive myself crazy with decisions about what to post first! Probably the garden opportunities. The growing season is Feb. to Dec. so I should be able to get a few perennials in the ground before what they call "winter" happens... Grin!
Hi Margie, the weather has been very dry here this summer.. Much worse in Florida, but I don't really mind the humidity.. Having a forever home is going to be awesome! Xox
Thanks Lynda, cannot wait to share it! I will post pics soon! X
It's time for a new adventure, but your memories will sustain you as you settle in. Lovely photos.
Beautiful words and lovely memories....
sending all good wishes your way as you settle into your forever home in the sunshine state dear Cat...
looking forward to seeing your new digs and surroundings...
you were so close in Chesapeake and yet...
proof that time moves way too quickly...
Take care dear friend

Whst a pretty place! I think instead of roots you must have wings dear girl. How else could you manage it? Fly safely and don't forget to gently tend to those wings of yours ....
ciao, ciao, cat!! safe travels!
xoxo
Best to you and yours in this move! A good photo goodbye and soon photos of your new home and garden!
A forever home will make all the moving worth it, I can assure. Welcome to Florida, thank you for the wonderful pictures of Virginia and looking forward for what is to come. Take care, Caterina!
Best of luck with your move, Cat; I hope you get to settle down for a while in your new home. We will miss you while you are unpacking and moving, and I'm sure you'll miss that lovely place in VA...
All the best with your move and hope your new place will fill you with inspiration and much happiness. I find it is always bittersweet to leave a place behind, but also much for which to look forward.
Dear Cat, I wish you the most wonderful time, settling in your new home, and new surroundings, with your husbond.
Yes there will alwayes be left back a part of us when we move on to new experiences and new kind of lives, but we also take with us so many beautiful memories from what we leaves !!
All the best dear friends, a happy new life filled with new beautiful moments every day !!
Hugs from Dorthe

Hi Sharmon, right now it all seems very overwhelming, I have to stop and remind myself to breathe and stay focused on the moment! There are several things I will miss, but looking forward to a permanent home for sure! Xo
You are so right, Marie!
