Good karma

Stage one stressor.. Moving almost done. 

The cats were on to me early on in the process. They became a bit more concerned as I started selling and giving away furniture. Then boxes and boxes. 

I did have a garage sale to get rid of some things, but I really should have gotten rid of soooo much more. 

Problem was the house was for sale and it always had to look 'realtor ready'. 

Anyhow I reserved a 10ft truck, then changed it to a 14 ft. Which was a good thing. Four friends... Two hours and voila!

The cats spent the loading time locked in a bedroom and were really confused to see it all gone...

Then the 45 min drive to the sitter' s. 

They don't like being in the car for 5 mins! They cried the whole way...

 I came back, cleaned up a bit and then slept on the floor. 

Next morning away .....

Another friend drove my car into the city. 

And so the truck driving moving ferry adventure begins. 

Karma was working for me and I ran into a couple of neighbours (from my new property), who ageed to help unload. 

...caution items may have shifted during the flight!

Actually the neighbours were not needed as my landlord help unload the truck!

Everything found a home, whether piled in a corner, a nook in a storage shed the landlord cleared for me, or my property's shed. 

Here is home - the cottage- until my house is finished. 6 months, 8 months...

And here is the evening view looking across the street. 

After things were all moved inside. I walked to the beach across the street for the sunset. 

Stayed up late to put the bed together, moved boxes ....asked the landlord if he might put a screen door on so I can keep it open, but the cats in. He will see what he can do. 

Next morning coffee on the door step. 

Then it was time to pack up for my travel back to the car, cats and job. 

First I had to check in to see if the bear had eaten all my plums...

I did see some small animal scat... But no evidence of the bear! I picked 6 bins of yellow plums, which did not even seem like half. 

Figs are still small and not quite ripe for picking...

This is one is getting close...

Hazelnuts are coming along...

A few walnuts are there...

Things will get a lot better when i get water. Look at the difference with the neighbours lawn...

Plums to the fridge, plums to the landlord and a few bins to bring back for others. 

Time for the ferry. And it was a pretty quick travel, the ferry gods were smiling on me. 

Next week I will travel on ferries with cats!!
