Not much to say, really; after about a month, we still have a love/hate relationship with the house. We love that we have a house to live in - but then comes the actual day-to-day living in a house. Dealing with two sets of neighbors carrying on a conversation over your house; trying to be back in our house before it's too late in the evening because the neighbors will lock the gate from the inside (and the gate is nearly impossible to open without injury from the outside); and the incredible amount of noise four adult turkeys can produce at 5:30 a.m.
On the fun side, we've started a garden on our roof! So far beans and pumpkins have sprouted. We hope they grow like crazy and shade the roof to keep it cooler in the summer (and produce food too, of course).
We have some running water and two electric lights in the house, which may sound pretty rudimentary but it's way more than most people have.
Enjoy!
If you were to look to the right, that would be our neighbor's/landlord's house, with whom we share a lakou (fenced-in yard). Our next gardening step is to plant ornamental bushes along the side of the house.

Very modern! is it made out of concrete? is it larger than your Philly apartment? I'm glad to hear about the roof garden!!
love it! it looks so different inside than the last time we saw it.
I guess I have not been reading regular enough. How can you grow a garden on your roof? Are you talking about a potted garden? Still, I cannot understand how a potted garden could produce much shade; and from the picture I am looking at it does not look like you have a sod roof.
But I must say your house photographs well—it is a very attractive house.
Take care and I promise to read with more regularity in the future.
Very nice house. Hope to see it soon. Daniel
