I love the photos V.J., especially the bird couple arguing.😁 It looks like you have a lot of unpacking to do, but at least you can just take breaks as you need to. My philosophy is always “if I don’t get to it today, it’ll still be there tomorrow – it’s not going anywhere so I don’t have to be in a hurry.”

Oh my! Unloading – not nearly as uplifting as loading-to-go. And if you won’t be reloading any time soon, must be daunting to figure out what to keep, where to keep it, etc. I’m impressed that you offered humor prior to the final image. (Love the empty shoes in that shot.)
