You probably don't realize that 'it is kind of sucks' has quite a charming ring to it in 'merican vernacular.

A snow squall moving in, a trio of trees, and the view down into the back yard from our little balcony. The only window in the room is the balcony door. It faces north, so at least I have northern light when working on my art

The neighbours took down a tree to the west - until then we were surrounded by tree-top greenery in the summer. At least we don't have any balconies around us, so we can sit comfortably on our coign of vantage and look o'er our domain. Or at least as far as the next row of houses to the north.

That' great. If I didn't have the sea, I'd want the trees.

Thanks Daniel_ but I think I would prefer to wake up to sunlight every morning rather than shade. I am a big fan of heat and I plan on moving south when I retire.

bit_of_honey

Now thats a great view to wake up to

Tully Mars

New house, new view...





My dog likes it better than The Colbert Report-

Yeah my other house was literally falling down around me so my friend, Jorge, asked if I'd house sit/rent from him. It's a lot more house then I need- three bedrooms/four baths and a big pool-



Nice kitchen-



Fully furnished-



It's a lot to clean and sand gets everywhere. But somehow I'll manage to suffer through.

I like the new view, Tully--and that pool looks very nice

OMG Tully, So freakin' Jelous is my name!!

A cleaning lady half a day, once a week, and your troubles are over. More time for sitting with the dog watching the water.

btw - that is one lovely residence Tully. Colour me green.

I thought I'd put a couple of late spring pics up to contrast with the winter shots I'd posted. The Japanese maples are doing beautifully, and the canopy is filling in with leaves which always gives us that extra bit of privacy

looking northwest towards central Toronto (Yonge/Eglinton area)


northeast into the canopy from the third floor balcony - that is what makes up our bedroom window.



looking down into our narrow little yard - the maples really have a lovely colour . . .

It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high, and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town

Yeah, the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time

It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day

And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, yeah, it's good to be king

Yeah I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time

It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls

A sweet little queen who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays

Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time

Tom Petty

Yes it's hard to be me. You don't want to be me. You want to be my dogs they're the true kings around here.

Anytime, you know how to reach me. I have cold beer and beach towels to spare.

I don't know I like doing stuff like cleaning the pool and dusting. Something like "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" I suppose.

I like all the colors around your home. All that green and the maple tree remind me of Oregon in the spring.
