Visiting the Bull City? Thinking about moving here?
I now have a bedroom to rent for short stays. Stay in an historic neighborhood, and walk to all the best that downtown Durham has to offer.

Lack of posting does not indicate absence of activity. Just getting into the house was a huge relief. I’m trying to get a few more things handled before winter–making the front yard look less trashy being one. Don’t know if putting a box vegetable garden in qualifies.
… or ever, it seems.
Painter got first coat on the front door. It’s a Ralph Lauren color, which HD doesn’t carry anymore, so I had to have it color-matched. Not sure they got it exactly. Maybe it will work better with the final coat. Right now it looks like something out of The Greeks. I keep expecting Clytemnestra to come sweeping out covered in blood.
Appraisal yesterday–yikes!!
thanks to photographer Jessie Gladin-Kramer for making it look SOooo good!

a bunch of trees, actually.
The city has been coming by the past couple of weeks to plant trees as part of a Tree Planting Partnership program most of us on the street participated in. I’m still expecting a Trident Maple. This is my little Red Bud. I am inexplicably charmed by leafless large twig that has appeared in the right-of-way in view of my front door.
