Chimney Garden

This may be another sign that Koko lives here by herself: weeds growing out of the chimney. The place used to be very well kept; her husband, who died two years ago, was a landscaper; she taught with Eric before retiring in 1993 or so. More recently, she fell and broke her shoulder while chasing a raccoon with a broom. Now we are getting to know her daughter who comes to stay periodically and walks when we walk.
