Back Yard

As a bonus, my house has a wonderful back yard.  My friend Margaret has a clothes dryer.  I called her a "plutocrat" and she confessed that she hates to hang up clothes.  Well, I love it, and here's why.

The ramada looks kinda ramshackle, but its a good place to hang clothes on a rainy day.  It will become my hydroponics lab in coming months.  Because my landlord was an electrician, the ramada is wired for 110 AND 220.  The electric clothes dryer is a decoration right now.  

Newer:  If you look carefully at the ramada, you'll see a fire place on the right.  I transformed that fireplace into a nifty outside workbench for my wood projects. 

The yard is full of fruit trees.  It's hard to take pictures of fruit trees; you really have to see them to appreciate them, but I thought I'd try.  The pear (avocado) tree is wonderful.  I am supplying pears to friends and to TJ's Toucan Bar & Restaurant.

As an added plus, I have very industrious ants.  <grin>  Brutus does all of his piles in the very back of the property, and the ants are busy turning his piles into nutritious dust.  Well, nutritious to an ant, I guess.  I won't show you any pictures, unless you write and ask.  At any rate, basically, the piles go away by themselves.  See why I think Belize is paradise?
