A nice morning walk

Thursday, June 30, 2005

Matey Moo got up at 5am this morning , so I got an early shower and after checking blogs and email I took the dog for a walk so I thought I'd share a few pictures of my walk in the "hood". I think I used to mention that this neighborhood is on the swing from crack houses (honestly my friend lives in a former one) to trendy...it's always interesting to see the growing pains from this kind of change. Our immediate area is all pretty nice. This is a house nearby that I think is particularly cute


This is a sign that the development has gone crazy....just 1/2 a block from the last house are these...two DUPLEXES! They are selling for over 1/2 a million a side. I can not imagine paying that much and sharing walls with neighbors...they also have VERY little yard.


And I couldn't resist a photo of this. This is under a HUGE pine tree...the branches provide the perfect kid sized canopy...I would have LOVED this sort of a thing as a kid...it's just out of eyesight of the grownup deck....a perfect place to hide and dream:


I planned on posting this much earlier, but I've gotten caught up in doing my black and white block. The block is pieced and I've started to embellish. I had some interesting challenged with it, so I'll post my solution in a bit.

those duplexes look exactly like the ones going up around us in Sydney Australia, except you'd be lucky to find one at 1/2 million, more like 700-800,000 and no backyards either.
I'm just finishing a black and white crazy double bed quilt, that's why I stopped to look at yours, nice
cheers
