The New Home - Finally took some pictures

Looking out at the street from the far end of the yard. There's a hammock and a picnic table. Antonio quickly decided to claim the hammock.

I took a picture of the gum balls. This is what covered the yard when we moved in. What a headache they were. They continue to fall whenever it rains or is windy.

The pansies on my patio, a house warming gift from a friend.

The back yard. We're getting ready to plant a butterfly bush.

Looking at the back of the house from the far end. The patio is small but I enjoy sitting out there.

The front of the house. When we moved in, the entire yard was covered with gum balls from the sweet gum ball trees. Some idiot decided the street needed them. We have three in our yard. That was a major project raking them all. Stacy did most of it. That's also when we found the bunny nest. It was under a pile of gum balls that we hadn't cleaned up yet.

We moved into a house on March 1, 2010. I love the back fenced in yard and the fact that I have a driveway and a little patio. Also, it's all on the ground floor. No stairs to lug groceries. Great neighbors! This is a very "old Princeton" neighborhood with most of the neighbors near me being older Italian folks. They're all so sweet. I'm kind of hoping that they share the bounty of their gardens with us this summer. One thing about our streets, as we are on the corner. There are so many people walking by all day long with their dogs. When we put Sophia outside, she tends to psycho bark a lot. Mostly at the bicycles and the dogs. Sometimes, it gets so busy that my quiet time, when sitting outside, isn't always so quiet. All in all, we love the new home and are happy that we found this location.
