It's fun putting homes to usernames!
This is the only picture I have right now, I really like our sideyards (which are untamed, native vegetation) but don't have any other pics yet.
The railing has since been painted white, and the plants pictured have already grown a lot. (This is Florida, even if it's northern.)

Love your new home Cil
are they using a xeriscape landscaping ?
hmmm I can see sitting on the front porch with a nice tall cocktail feeling the breezes


Thank you all for posting the snow pictures I just want to jump in and make a snow angel

As soon as I plants the new plants I just got and put down the 25 cuft of mulch that is sitting in the driveway( I am under a "no lifting of mulch bags" from my ortho Doc) I will take some pictures and post.

Thanks Karla.
I just looked over everyone's homes again, I enjoy the diversity (and the snow--from afar!) I like Vasinger's rowhome, too.
Some of y'all sure do have a lot of space.
We don't have much space at all, but we do have green spaces within the neighborhood, and the beach close by.
Karla, yes, it's not so much xeriscape here as it is native plants, though you can do whatever you want on front or back porch or behind a fence.

Hmmm I see a nice spot on the porch for one of "mama jades" babies

Here is the house we're renting. It's a townhome in a complex. When I do own, within 1-2 years, it will be a single home. For now, this is what it is. I had to cover up my address and license plate-too many crazies

We have a lot more flowers now but I didn't feel like going outside to take a more recent pic.

isn't it great how the house differ from one part of the country to another
I know a lot of folks don't want to have where they live but it would be great to know the sate these wonderful houses are in.
I know a few have made me a tad homesick for the north

I look forward to seeing more of everyones great homes.
I will take one of the fornt of ours as I leave for "plant camp" tomorrow when I have the cars out of the driveway
Here is one of the back of the house and part of my butterfly/hummingbird garden
