week thirty-four

EWWWWWWWW GIANT CICADA! ON OUR LANAI! *shudder*



It totally wants to burst through the screen and eat my face off. So gross.

week thirty-three

Apparently week 32 also got lost in the shuffle. Huh. Sorry about that. I don't even have something good for week 33 to make up for it, just this silly pic of me.

week thirty-one

Unfortunately, week 30 got lost in the shuffle. Oops.

We must have gone car shopping, cuz now in week 31, we have a car! It's a 2002 Subaru Forester. I have named her Tina.







Yes, she has 158k miles. Giddy-up!

Also, Zoe is settling into her new abode quite well.

week twenty-nine

Came home to find there was no power. Screw-up with the electric company? Blown circuit? Nope, turns out a transformer down the road blew up. No power for about 6 hours I think. Good thing I was able to find the candles in one of the oodles of boxes.

week twenty-eight

Moving day! Tired but happy. Our movers were maniacs and they did a fantastic job. Best money we've spent so far.

week twenty-seven

This enormous snapping turtle was hanging out on the road going up to Sean's parents' house. There aren't any streams or anything close by, and she was heading uphill. No idea. She wasn't there when we came back.



One of Sean's friends says turtles are good luck so we'll take it a good sign.

week twenty-six

Wow, so it's been a while since I posted. We closed on the condo and moved and have been pretty busy. So I actually missed a couple of weeks of pics, but I'll post what I have and just move on from here. :)

In week 26 we closed on the condo! Here we are after the proceedings. No idea what we've just gotten ourselves into.

week twenty-five

Slow week around here. It's been raining for what feels like forever. But we are getting some gorgeous flowers as a result. Check out this trio of lilies.







At long last, the closing for our condo is scheduled! Stay tuned next week...

week twenty-four

Almost forgot to take any pics this week! Yipes!

week twenty-three

Guess where I went for a work conference this week?

week twenty-two

I really hoped we would have closed on the condo by now, but no. So instead, I have some more pretty flowers for this week. Now with more raindrops!









not sure what those are called, but they are beautiful. they remind me of candy canes.





that one's a rose



that one looks like a leopard



no idea about that one



pretty sure that's a peony



another mystery, but it looks tickle-y and makes me feel like i have to sneeze



some kinda leaf

week twenty-one

I decided to spiff up my mis-matched ugly plastic plant pots this weekend. A couple bottles of spray paint is all it took. Once (if?) we move to the condo, I'll figure out how much sunlight the lanai and landing get and choose some plants accordingly.





Big surprise, I chose black and blue for the pots. And yes, this concrete slab serves as my workspace. Just wish there was a little (read: any) shade!

Bonus pic for this week: our landlord's cat decided to have a refreshing sip from the kiddie pool.
