Patrick pointing out the delightful poison oak growing up the side of the english oak tree. |
Our truck parked outside the front gate.
Looking up the driveway towards the house (which you can't see).
This would be our "bottom paddock"
Starting up the driveway - it's gravel and steep and is the main problem -
not sure we could get the horse trailer up there in the driveway's present
state - may need a bit of asphalt/concrete at strategic points.

whining about her aching leg (the other leg doesn't do any work, so the
"good leg" is quite sore from window shopping property all
weekend and slogging up hills). We'd get fit, though. |

They have built two loops so that you don't have to do 58-point turns. |
After turning the corner at the top, you finally see the house
and the orchard in front of it:
Looking along the top to the right of the house. The area behind
the green trees is a small lawn.
Oddly distorted picture of the house. Front door opens onto
the deck on the right. Bulging window is the "dining room"
which the kitchen looks out across. Window on left is the
living room. Bottom window is "Patrick's laboratory" (i.e.
his workshop until we get around to building him a real garage).
The left of the house - looking up the stairs to the back door and
deck outside our bedroom:
Walk down the hill a little. I'm standing in another pony paddock.
Orchard is to the right, swimming pool (and black pool cover,
stretched out in front of it) to the left.

Patrick surveying the manzanita (which lines the property all around) to the south. You can see the sunlight from the sun setting against the mountains. |
