[this photo makes the yard look much bigger]
1. this is our soon to be back yard.
2. its maybe a third of what we have now.
3. but i'm not complaining. its got a pool for those hot texas days.
4. i found on pinterest the 4 seasons of texas: it's almost summer, summer, still summer and christmas
5. one of our first projects is going to be to take down the wrought iron fence. it makes the yard feel even smaller.
6. and the flower bed in front of the wrought iron fence will be moved to the side of the wood fence.
7. we have an open house on sunday. we also reduced the price on our current house.
8. debating on taking the train up to chicago for the day before leaving for texas. i'm bored.
9. bribed kaylee with american girl doll loot if she sleeps in her room till we move to texas.
10. she will get even more loot if she continues once we do move. she's doing fairly well. baby steps.
As someone who grew up in Houston and now lives in Austin with a husband from CT, we prefer the following description of the seasons:
ReplyDeleteGreen, Brown, Brown, Grey-Brown
(AKA, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)
But don't be fooled - winter isn't Christmas. It's one day every other January. I've done shorts and a tank top on Christmas morning many times in my life.
