Ah scaling back is such a non intuitive thing isn’t it? We are supposed to be stringing accomplishments together and collecting trophies along the way!

While I haven’t considered downsizing yet because our kids at home, Mrs Zeke Pickleman and I often think about it. Perhaps with the housing crisis here and impossibility for our kids to afford a home of their own when they eventually graduate, we are going to need the space!

I am also trying to let the natural vegetation like the wild strawberries replace my lawn too. Apparently periwinkle is invasive enough to do that and replace it with similar green that doesn’t need to be constantly watered and mowed.
