What Watering Can?

Everything is brand new here, including the Venetian blinds. It suddenly occurred to me one night quite late that perhaps people could see inside the windows even although the blinds are closed. Jings. Off I go, barefooted, and in night attire, to peek inside each window. 

Tip-toeing like some guilty burglar, I prowl and prance to see if I can spy anything inside the house. Just then somebody appears walking along the road. Where did he come from?! What to do? 

I pretend I'm really just out watering the geraniums and proceed to use a non-existing watering can. It is dark, after all, so nobody can really see me. Right? Wrong. The mysterious individual shines a bright flashlight on me. If that's not enough, two cars appear from nowhere, headlights fixated on me and my non-existing watering can.

Not wanting to get into any explanations I leap inside the house and lock the door.

BTW, I don't think anybody could see through the blinds, so that's good. Lol.

Short, Fat Driveway - be careful what you wish for

Our former house had a really long driveway that meandered its way down to the back of the house. What a pain to shovel the snow!   Consequently, one of my top priorities was to move to a place with a short, fat driveway.  Ha ha.  Be careful what you wish for!

The middle part of the photo is the communal driveway. Four houses share this driveway. To the left is our teeny, tiny driveway. You'd need to be on roller blades to enter the garage, that is if you don't want to bang into anything. It is a two car garage, but with such a tight turn around to get in...well you get the gist.

Time to speak up and complain BEFORE purchasing the house. What to do?  Hmm. Well, to the right they added and extra four feet. So, all added up, our teeny, tiny driveway, the communal driveway and the added bit, come to 24 feet in length. They're supposed to come back next year and put another coat of asphalt, that way everything should like nicer? 

We're the new kids on the block. We're the new kids on the block with the smallest driveway in the whole subdivision. 

Settling In - New House

How long does it take to settle into a brand new house?  Ha ha.

Midst such odd circumstances - magical outlets hidden behind drywall, a garage door that derails, loose bricks, brand new dryer that quits after two weeks, are we settling in?

Well, with a double rainbow spanning the evening sky in front of our house, maybe we are!

And that nice swimming pool and fitness centre are just beckoning us over.

Evening is also pretty here.

Yes, I think we're settling in!
