When the hoomins are outside the house and we are inside, we like to look out the windows. I can see OK but Cabela needs to stand on her hind legs to see the hoomins. Click us to make us big.

Courtyard Progress
Our contractor finished painting the courtyard wall today. He would have been done yesterday except the paint sprayer he brought didn’t have enough capacity to spray the thick paint. They brought a larger unit this morning and finished up.
After the paint was dry, I propped the camera on the wall and used the delay feature to get this photo of us in the courtyard with the painted wall in the background. Cabela was along for the ride. Bear, of course, had to take a nap. Click on the image to enlarge.
Pink Amaryllis
Mom gave me a pair of amaryllis bulbs before we came back to Arizona last month. The flowers finally opened up in our new home this week. I took this image of one of the three flowers in the late afternoon sunshine streaming through the front window. Click on the image to enlarge.
Shutter Milestone
Today has been a busy day for us. The shutter guys installed our beautiful new shutters as you can see in the slideshow animation. I took photos inside and outside of the knotted wood and the saguaro ribs details on the great room shutters. The wood in the shutters matches our kitchen and bathroom cabinets very closely. You can stop the slideshow by placing your mouse cursor over the images and rolling out to resume.
We also got a landscaping representative out to assess our ground cover and landscaping needs. We will probably move out on landscaping after the contractor finishes the courtyard wall.
My Valentine Sweater
Just in time for Valentine’s day, the Mama got me this Valentine sweater to keep me warm. Click on me to make me big.
Cabela’s Squeaky Toy
Hi – this is Cabela. I am at the new house with my hoomins and Bear. We don’t have a lot of furniture yet but I do have my squeaky toy and a lot of other toys. I just love to play with my toys and I especially like to play with the squeaky toy. I like to make it go squeak and I like to chew on it.
You can watch me squeaking my toy. The Daddy took this movie of me in the new house while I was playing.
