The Little Things Like…

Mowing the lawn!

Nothing says suburbia like a freshly cut lawn. Now Tony and I don’t mind cutting the lawn, but gasoline mowers really put me off. It’s hot, the fumes are blowing in your face, and it’s noisy. Not to mention, this property is on a hill and we have to maneuver the mower up and around the house to the front yard.

Therefore, we invested in a push mower! Yes! It is perfect for the little grass that is here. As you can see we were pretty excited to try it out.

Indeed the little things in life can either make or break your day. We are finding that living in this situation is both comfortable and interesting.

It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to live in someone else’s fully furnished, beautiful home so why not make the most of it?

A summer BBQ

I feel that Renee and I are enjoying ourselves to the fullest and making the place our own. We’ve greatly enjoyed seeing the garden grow and being in this part of the city has been a new type of adventure for us.

A very quite adventure…

No kidding. Many times we have questioned if we are actually in some kind of TV set. This is because we almost never see neighbours in the yards behind this home. And that’s so hard to understand because this area is so beautiful. I mean, mountains! The view of the mountains is enough to get me outside every morning – even if it’s raining! Not to mention this neighbourhood of Tuscany has so many walking / cycling paths to enjoy the scenery with.

The garden after 6 weeks

So this new, but quiet adventure in suburbia is developing quite nicely and we are taking good care of the lawn and the garden. There have been many laughs and BBQ’s thus far and I have no doubt that many more will come.

Until next time, carpe diem!
