How it's where we live.

We had our first breakfast party yesterday for Julie's 30th Birthday party. French toast, home fries, sage link sausage (from the Trader,) blueberry sauce, fresh pineapple, Maple syrup, coffee, and bloody mary's. Then the day carried on into the afternoon and we still kept up with ourselves and the laughter. We brought it down a little with a dramatic matinee about an Alpine mountain tragedy (/ love story.) Then after another visit with our homies we came back home for a dance party. Check out our beautiful apartment and grounds here in Bend.

Dance party for two (one in the pic, one out.)

Our second story flat and porch.

Our simple bed room in a state of chaos.

Our neighbor and friend's, Tod and Leslie's, whimsical spiral garden; mostly for yummy veggies.

Tod and Leslie's elegant and efficient straw bale home.

The tree house. Come out this summer and stay here. Views of snow capped mountains.

Tod and Leslie's home and our grill on the deck.

Our front door.

The main room; see the kitchen on the right, glass door on left and dinning table in center. (I am standing at the far wall of the "living room.")

Smile!

The chicken coop.

Neighbor's new garden being born right under our east facing windows. This is also street side (a very quiet street, in a neighborhood right above the Deschutes River.) Lots of great wild life meanders through the grounds. Deer, quail, raccoons, various song birds and more.

The cold frame I built in the garden space we are in-charge of planting. We have a beautiful place here in Bend and we really appreciate all the sharing our landlords offer us. Be well and breath peace. Zach
