We're in our new villa at last and it feels good! Living here is like being on holiday! This is the front porch where we spend a lot of time talking and breathing in the view over a glass of wine, while Jess the border collie sits at our feet. Although we live in suburbia, this vacant land across the street is full of gum trees. We have water dragons (foot long lizards) skittering around our sunny patios. They are quite comical and I will get a photo if I can catch one!
This family of lorikeets arrive on our fence every morning and evening to feed on the grevillea's and bottlebrush flowers. They are noisy, playful and very affectionate with each other. I have put out a bird bath for them but they don't seem to want to use it yet.
The move went very smoothly and we have unpacked everything except my studio, which is on hold while we work out some shelving. The desk I chose to use will not fit in the room so I have to re-think that also.
Anyhow, we are all very happy in our relaxing new home. And life goes on....
Oh, it sounds so exotic, Patti! The villa, the water dragons (I can't imagine that), the lorikeets, gum trees! These are all foreign to me and I have never heard of any of the three: water dragons, lorikeets, or gum trees. The pictures do look so peaceful; I hope you post more, too. It looks so lovely. The flowering vine by your porch looks lovely too.
