Safe Place

The ache for home lives in all of us
the safe place
where we can go as we are
and not be questioned.
...Maya Angelou

This has been home for 22 years. It is in need of a new roof, exterior paint, new flooring and lots and lots of maintenance. Finding some buried treasure or a money tree in the backyard would come in handy just about now. Even though our roof does leak, at least we have a roof, unlike many in Texas, Florida and other hurricane Harvey and Irma disaster zones.

Nice on black.

What a great quotation and so true. But we should not worry about being questioned. Rather regard it as an opportunity! I like the home! fav

[Jenfurj]

It is home and looks just fabulous. Maintenance and repairs are forever ongoing. Fav

[Carole Sandford]

Looks a lovely home! Think we all have a rolling programme of repairs & maintenance!

[sally agnew]

Very true words, sadly a safe place is unobtainable for many, many people. I love the focus and composition :)

There is always something to do around a home but it's nice to be able to walk in, close the door on the world and relax.

[Peter Dulis]

Thank you, Sally. Yes, home should be a safe haven but for many, unfortunately it is not. Hoping they can get to safety somehow, somewhere... @hermann

[CC Folk]

You are too sweet, Elyse! At least, Katniss loves it, just the way it is...and enjoys the safety of our backyard too! It is home for her now. @kchuk

[CC Folk]

Thank you, Suzanne! I do love our home and the look but its a lot of work because it is all wood, instead of stucco. Bigger than we need too. I told my husband we cant move because Katniss loves our backyard too much! :) @suzanne234

[CC Folk]

I appreciate the nice comments and enjoyment of the quote! Thanks to You! @cathieg

Soft focus is perfect for the warm feeling of home.

Thank you Taffy. I appreciate the kindness. @taffy

[Helen Jane]

It is always good to be grateful for what you have, and it does look like a lovely home. I wish you much safety and happiness to come in it - whatever the state of repair.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Looks like a beautiful home. There's always work to do in a house however much money you have and however much you spend xx
