Have I mentioned how lucky I am to live where I do? Our little commune is taking it to the next level of what it means to be neighborly...we're more like a big extended family. On Wednesday night we put up tables in the yard, lit some candles, busted out the cloth napkins, ( my grandmothers, which were a big hit) moved the speakers into the windows and all sat down to dinner together. Dinner turned into wine, turned in to a guitar jam session courtesy of our newest neighbor, with a KILLER voice, and ended with slow dancing under the stars by candlelight...
It was a night that reminded me that yes indeed, life is RAD...
There are four houses on this property, a total of 9 humans, 5 canines, and 2 felines. We have avocado trees, papaya, mango, cherimoya and two apple banana trees. We lovingly refer to our little cluster of houses as, "The Commune". One of my favorite things about living here lately has been how wonderfully all of our dogs get along...We set up a small gate at the front entrance to the property so that we can leave our doors open and the dogs can roam free around the yard. If you don't know where your dog is, chances are he went to the neighbors house in search of treats...
I feel positively filled to the brim with gratitude for this little patch of earth that I get to call home...I always tell Jo, I love it so much here, I hope we never move.

such a sweet post.
ReplyDeletehow wonderful to have a loving partner and neighbours and live in a perfect little commune community....WITH roaming dogs!
I was pinching myself after dinner, I am so grateful for this place!
DeleteMost can only dream about what you have there.
ReplyDeleteApple banana? Do they look like bananas with an apple flavor thrown in? Yum!
They are a bit smaller and can be chubbier than the "regular" banana, and the best part is the flavor!!!! They are less sugary sweet and have just a hint of apple flavor...so yummy, I can't eat a regular Dole anymore, they just taste too sweet! It's really a wonderful problem to have...Thanks for stopping by to say hi!
