Front Yard

Adriana and I sit in the "special grass". This grass is treasured, never cut and seldom walked on because it was so hard to get it to grow in the clay soil.

Of course Monstro loves the grass too. As does Brandy.

"You just push the button." I tell Sra how to use the camara. Oh, technology.

Now, she's figured it out, though each time Sra takes a photo she has to hold her breath and then let it out with a whistle. That makes it easy to keep a natural smile on our faces.

A valiant attempt to get two dogs to just sit still for a second. 

It proved to be impossible as Brandy refused to cooperate.

Sra and the love of her life.

Front porch, so pleasant to sit on in the evenings, 

hoping for a cool breeze, or some rain clouds.

A philodendron is looped on nails to frame the garage. I think it looks enchanting (pay no attention to the propane tanks and the washing machines).

The philodendron magically continues on the side of the garage.

Sra next to her new yellow rose plant that I forgot to barter for so I paid a whole $1.60 for it instead of $1.40. The dirt that it is planted in was imported all the way from the river.
