With just finishing up a big birthday at the end of August, I continue to find that I am experiencing time differently.
As I've been watching the unfolding of the new lavoir project here in the village; there is a looking back in the looking forward to what the future may hold here in just this spot.
By the time the work of the moment was finished, I had over 700 photos, videos, and animations.
I made a USB key for both Christiane and Xavier.
Christiane asked me if I had a photo of the lavoir before the archway stone was removed.
That light bulb went off.
I had many, but where?
Truth be told, I have more than 22 years of lavoir photos that portray the lavoir's rich life way before this recent work began.
I had to go back and look. I found photos sprinkled throughout the years, but most fell after the Barn became part of our "we" in 2010.
Part of the reason for that was having the barn brought me over to that side of the tracks more often AND, the barn brought along some parcels of land when she came to be with us.
Some of that land was right beside the lavoir.
I was driven to take care of it all the best I could!
It always felt like we belonged together no matter who owned the land.
Going back through all those photos took me places I hadn't been in a long time and to feelings I haven't felt in what feels like forever.
It's time to take a look back with our eyes to the future.
I hope you'll join me.
Happy Saturday!
