We walked the neighborhood when we went to look at the house yesterday. The neighbors have great flowers! Here are a few.
We even met one of the neighbors "Cathy". She has 2 dogs she was walking. Little dust mop ones.
Home inspection is on Wednesday. We are looking to move in (if all goes well) on June 2nd.
The name of our street is Siskiyou. Pronounced Sis-Q. After the mountain range in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Choose the origin of the name you like: Native American word meaning bob-tailed horse, or French for "six stones". No one knows for sure.
The stone wall around the base of our house is volcanic rock. I tried listing the plants there, and half of them I have never seen before. Plus there are multiple new small trees planted, in addition to the THREE! Japanese maples and the TWO! dogwoods. Some of you are salivating.
The plants I could identify are: rhododendron, boxwood, tuberous begonias, cedar, pine, rosemary, tulips, azaleas, white and purple vinca, hostas, grape hyacinth, one that looks like tea tree, several conifers. When we move in, I will add my peonies!
Hiked yesterday in nature preserve and jogged/walked around a local park. Soon we will be looking for some 5ks to run.
Met Joshua and Julia downtown for lunch from a food cart on Friday; he brought her tulips and me chocolates. Aaawww.
