Our home

Outside of the house.
Across the street.
washing machine
Zane's room
Entry.
Here are a few pictures of our new home.  There are little corner stores throughout the neighborhood.  We have a barber shop and a store right across the street. Danj and Zane are just popping over to get some water (our jug ran out) and an ice-cream.  There are many paths, alleys, roads... hard to tell what goes through or into someone's home area.  There is a mix of apartments and private homes.  Many walkways are covered with grape arbors.  On our walks we see many street cats, mostly quite young, people strolling, kids playing, biking and climbing around empty buildings, plastic bottles, graffiti, lovely watermelons, Palm trees, Mimosas, Pomegranate bushes, little birds and God's eyes.  We hear the train, doves and roosters.  The people we meet are friendly and we feel welcome.   Today it rained and the weather dropped about 10 degrees.  It has been 35-40 since we arrived. 




These trees are home to some little birds that I have yet to identify.  They find some scrumptious worms in the garden.

Zane's room.  We play basketball with the shipping boxes and yoga ball.
Porch
Up to secret room, down to kitchen.
Kitchen with windows to a central courtyard (alive with cats).
Entry way.  Front trees are pomegranite and cherry.

  4. Neat photos! Is that a hot tub in bathroom? Ah--what is in the secret room? How does Cozy react to all the cats outside? Do you let her out?
    Sounds pretty cold. Can't talk much about weather. Seattle still really forgot to have summer--the garden complained. Blog on. Blog on!
    Lovenhugs to y'all, GMA/Mom/H
