Generations
Plans are proceeding for my son's 'soft-launch' into independence, living down at Home Farm for the summer with a roommate. They spent most of the weekend working together to fix things up, including retrofitting the old goat barn to be a mews. Because Roommate is a falconer, and his 'battle-chicken' is coming along with him.
It's yet another evolution for me, mentally. I grew up in that house. Left at 23 and didn't go back for about 20 years. Reconciled [sorta] with my father when I was my forties, and visited frequently. Then had to step up to daily and several-times-a-day visits in his last couple of years.
He passed away in 2022, so the past two years it has sat empty, with me going in regularly to clean up some of the endless mess and clutter he left behind.
And soon, I'll be a 'guest' in the house again. Strange.
