Diversity of Species
In my home, we have 2 adults (one male, one female, both 34 years old) and a male child, age 3. There's a bird (greyish brown) that just flew in the living room, eating seeds off the carpet that must have trailed in on the bottoms of our feet after we put food out yesterday. In years past, our dog would have chased after the bird, but we lost our beloved Chico (a pit/elkhound mix) last year. We're missing the animal companionship, but we're waiting to get a place with a yard (in a couple of months, hopefully!) and, besides, we get our 'fix' when friends visit with their dogs. Hubby won't allow a cat until we're in a house, either. (Our place is too small for a litter box!) We have a sliding glass door that leads to a balcony and courtyard with pool. I love the big trees and plants in the courtyard, most notably the thick palm that reaches across a few of our windows. I've got some houseplants (pineapple, bouganvillea, ivys) on the balcony and I plan to get some window boxes of herbs & veggies. (hmm, gonna get on that SOON)
I just visited a friend's house that is filled with orchids, so mine seems so plain right now! (except for all of the instruments which certainly come to life in the right hands!) :)
