Welcome to my site. I will be Chronicling the construction of our new home. Here is a brief history of my experiance in this area. I moved every few years as a child. As an adult I stayed in one house for 25 years, but helped remodel it four times. From a minor bath redo to adding an entire second story to the house. Now my husband and I have moved to AZ to care for my elderly parents and are undertaking to be the owner/builders of a custom home. Some people don't like change but I guess I'm not one of them. Or perhaps it is just limited change I like. To my husband's current dismay I helped build a 4000 square foot house in Romania in 2001. We took it from slab to fully furnished in 11 days. I therefore have meager patience for the pace of building here in Arizona.

Javelinas Again!

As we were quietly listening to music tonight about 9 pm, we heard this loud thumping noise, almost like someone playing basketball on our back patio. Imagine my surprise when I turned on the porch light and there was a javelina RIGHT there outside the door. Since their last visit I've been taking in the birdfeeder at night but we have a heavy plastic bin we store the seed in and that was on the patio. Four or five javelina were in the back area(inside the partially erected new walls) and one was rolling the bin around trying to get it open. We took some photos, shooed them off, and rescued the bin. They came back a few minutes later but have now really left. They again nibbled at the cilantro but ignored the rosemary, jojoba, and chuparosa. We also saw a coyote on our morning walk and a small bobcat shortly before noon.
