dear expensive to heat diary,
i miss our old house, but i don't miss the heating bill. i don't miss all the constant mowing. i don't miss the bugs. i don't miss driving half an hour to get milk and half an hour home. i don't miss the fast traffic and rocks on the road. i don't miss plowing our own street. i don't miss the skunks, okay yes i do miss the skunks. i don't miss the dirt blowing in from the fields. i don't miss the sound of that noisy pump drawing water from the well across the driveway. i don't miss the mice. but i do miss the flowers and the cellar and the dogs running free and the garden and getting the mail naked and my neighbors and the driveway bell and the sweet corn and the creeks and the quiet and the stars and the sunsets and the cookouts and the fires and the weed and peeing outside and the puppies and planting trees and running through the corn- before it got too itchy.
