Tales From the Box

There were three reasons I wanted a house as opposed to an apartment.

to mow the lawn

to make a garden

to have a dog

So when we bought our abode in Warrimoo there was some lawn to be mowed, a garden to be tended, and definitely the yard for a dog to run wild and free. However the house on stilts didn’t offer us much protection in keeping said dog inside purchased land.

So we reveled in other people’s dogs – namely our parents. In January my parents bought this gorgeous little puppy Shaogo – who ran amock on our deck and generally caused a bucket full of mischief. The little slideshow is some pics of her looking sickeningly cute. (By the way if you hadn’t noticed – I have fallen in love with this google slideshow – damn you google and your irresistible goodies)

We have found that since our reno – and the addition of the deck (with the soon to be roof – thanks for the donation myles) these flighty green creatures have been paying us a visit. In fact their has been a plethora of birds. But these little fellas were very friendly and happy to eat the seed i scatted on the deck.

Well after nearly a year of non updates, we are back here to share more tales. Though we haven’t blogged our tales, they still have happened. So over the next few weeks I will relay some the tales. We freshly painted the house mid year, but didn’t finish it completely until the week before Christmas where we finally moved into our bedroom (the room that was our living/kitchen) Anyway these pics highlight a few of our gatherings over the past few months.
