We've enjoyed a great winter. Not one bout of snow and extremely mild temperatures reaching into the 70s on some days. We've even had some badly needed rain. I'm hoping for more rain as spring progresses.
It's been a few months since I've really written on the topic of Birkdale (our son is now 7 months old so I've been a little distracted). Birkdale Village is doing well. It seems that as we are both out on our daily walks or at the gym we meet more and more people from the neighborhood. Its great having such a small community. Last week, my wife and I finally saw the inside renovations on a house that has the same floor plan as ours. When we moved into this house last year the sellers realtor lived in the village. She told us about how her neighbors had the same floor plan and how the had added an extension on the back, how they walled in their bonus room, and how they finished out their attic. Wow, that's a lot of changes. Well, last week, we happened to be walking in front of the house and the owner was out front and we started speaking with him. He as more than happy to show us his impressive modifications. What's funny is that we now see him and his wife all the time either walking in the village or driving through. We are seriously considering at least walling in our bonus room which is open a we go up the stairs and it was great that he let us see how it looks.
So the village is doing well and the trees are just starting to bloom (hopefully it is not too early and the don't get hurt by another cold snap). What's been great for the village shops is that the warm weather has kept Birkdale alive with people since everyone is enjoying the outdoors. I'm looking forward to the live music starting in a few months.
