Some Pictures Of Our House

So here are some pictures I took of our house yesterday. They are mostly from outside, I want to wait until we get rid of more boxes and clean up more to take more pictures from the inside. The paint lines and flags in the yard are utility markings (call before you dig). I also need to get close up pictures of mt flowers, you can't see the detail of the petals in the pictures. Natalie will tell you, I'm a picky person about my flowers. It's not just the color, I'm picky about the way the petals look. These flowers have some cool looking petals which is why I selected them.

Our house from the front. The Jasmine Sambac is to the left of the door and the purple/blue flowers I planted are to the right of the door next to the bench. As you can see our house is all brick with barrel tile room so the wolf can huff and puff but this house isn't going to blow in. It stood up to a direct hit from Wilma (Cat3 hurricane).

Palm Tree & Orchids. This palm tree has 8 orchids in it, only one is in bloom right now.

Palm trees and butterfly garden

Backyard view from my pool deck. I'm considering removing the child fence until the baby is big enough to get out. Doesn't make much sense having it now.

From the patio to the northeast

My papaya tree

Southeast side of my yard. This is where my baby naval tree, lemon tree, coconut palm, and banana trees are.

My veggie garden on the north side of the house.

South side of the house. I am going to tear out the grass against the house and do a veggie garden here like I have on the north side.

My house viewed from the yard. You can't really see it here but we have five sliding doors and 6 windows that open to the pool. This is the reason we insisted on a one story house. We like the way the house kind of wraps around the pool. I can cut through the pool area to get to both fars ends of the house quicker. Our patio is behind the columns but you can't really see it because it's dark but it's a nice place to eat by the pool. We also have a bar to the far right of the patio that has three windows that open to the kitchen. The shutters close the whole patio so we dont have to shutter those windows and doors individually. The palm tree has six pineapple plants in a circle around it. I planted those last week. I also put a couple in my butterfly garden and a couple on the property line with the neighbors.

Like I said in previous post. The aquarium and the safe were a perfect fit. A hair bigger and they wouldnt fit. The closet door actually closes, barely, so I can close it and no one knows it's there.

And that concludes my tour, for today. I still have to take pictures of the living room, kitching, dining room, and whatever the other living room is called. Maybe I'll post those tomorrow.
