BPOH misc

These are some of the misc things about our humble abode I thought you might enjoy.

This is the elevated walk in front of the little house, or guest house, or apartment as BH calls it.

It is still being fixed up. There is new carpet and
tile. We've got debris from the little house on the wrap around porch. We're planning a dump run soon but until then we look like rednecks.









This is a view of the walk as you are comming from the Big House. It's a nice view. Very peaceful here. Notice the grass? No? Me either.











As you are comming from the little house toward what would have been the front of the house, now we refer to as the back of the house, you will see a juniper and a daisy bush. If you come through here at night when it is dark you may chance upon a spider web, complete with spider, especially if you are terrified of spiders. Which I am.







I call this the swing porch. Since I cannot figure out if it is the front or the back of the house.












This is a detail of the top of the swing. I had a ton of this stuff from Christmas that I put on my mantle in my former life. This house believe it or not does not have a fireplace, a wood burning stove, but no fireplace. Anyway I thought it looks great here. It does doesn't it?








In front of the swing I have this lovely flower border. This spring I planted herbs of thyme and majoram and lavender. The bunnies thoroughly enjoyed. They thanked me by leaving the lavender alone. I will fill this planter with wonderfully fragrant lavender. There are 2 rose bushes here that have beautiful roses. Some sort of amarylis on the left side. And to the far left is a little white thing. See it?




A chamber pot! An old chamber pot. I love it! I keep it out side in case nature calls.













This is the view from the swing porch. Those are my twin palms that were scorched in the fire. I had hoped to get the tops. They are growing back wonderfully. They even had flowers this year. There is a little deck to the right. There used to be a jacuzzi to the left of the spa. It left before I came.






Here is another view from that side of the house. It is the road we take to get to our house.
The road closest to the bottom is really a driveway to another property.










This is the view from where we park.













This is the view from the back of the house which is now the front of the house. It is a fenced in area where Tom and Moe cruise happily about. Coyote's climb up there, I think they live up and over. I've not been up there and BH won't let me wander to far because of the rattlers.







As I was taking pictures I found one of my little bunny friends.

Oh, it is so beautiful where you live. I love your twin palms and the views and the little apartment. It just looks so spacious out there and the sunset is so pretty...is that the time of day you took the pictures? I wouldn't mind little bunnies eating some of the plants either...but no rattlers.

I took the pics in the early morning. I really like the way those photos turned out. Beautiful time of day.
