Lots for Sale

Lots for sale, but not for long. There aren't many remote, hidden corners left in this corner of Portland. The patched-together homes with comfortable messes and crazy ideas; the grown-over sheds and former gardens; the car-parts as yard art; the places where living was affordable, if not filled with convenience - all that is fast disappearing. I'd like it better if a magic mix could exist. I like a lot of the new, but am sad to lose the old.
