I am a retired 44-year veteran of the Real Estate Assessment field. As with real estate assessing and how it applies to real estate taxes, one can make many acquaintances, but not many real friends. It was a great career choice.
It has been nearly 10 years since I reclaimed my home and my real passions within my home. I enjoy it more each day and tip my hat to those who I left behind.
Each day I try to stretch myself with the use of my computer as it relates to this site and using it to print out labels for quilts for trying to incorporate photos into my sewing. Life is so full and I know that I have room for more.
Bedrooms on ground level couldn’t have a better safeguard than these cactus. It is the only cactus that withstands Minnesota winters. The bight green tips in the photo are all new growth. They will eventually put out spines up to a half inch in length. These cactus are more desirable in residential areas than the site of barbed wire.
