Free Rent!

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home

I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'cause nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
'cause there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'cause nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
'cause nothing I have is truly mine.

The neighbors wisely euthanized their old maple tree, which was becoming dangerous. We were all sad to know it was going to come down, but, such is the life of trees (and all living things...). And, we knew there were racoons in the neighborhood but I didn't realize they were living this close! A large family of racoons was evicted the morning the tree came down. I would have felt sorry for them except they are now squatting in one of our trees! Free racoon poop if anyone needs any!
