... pictures of our ex-neighbor's lawn sale ...

Living in Darwin was the first time I had ever become close to my neighbors. They were a young family from Holland initially enticed to our front lawn by our puppy fostering efforts in April. We all became fast friends and meandered around Darwin every so often tho usually we stayed within each other's backyards for dinner or tea.

Darwin is a peculiar place. It's a town of transients. Most people only plan to come for a couple of months and although some get comfortable and "temporarily stay" for 5 years or more, the majority move on and continue on their life's journey as intended. So we attend alot of good-bye parties. Some also become more selective of the people they let into our hearts. It was particularly difficult to say goodbye to the Forrer family because I saw them as my family too. Maybe that's what happens in small towns. When the shops are closed at 9pm on a Sunday, your neighbors are the only ones you can really rely on to have sugar available.
