starting a week of our backyard

Moving to Los Angeles we didn't think we'd get so lucky as to have a lush backyard...but we did.  Our new home comes complete with a gorgeously landscaped little escape from the urban sprawl.  This week we'll show you the details.

In Julian, CA- after the fires.  Regrowth is an amazing thing.

This is what you always imagined New Zealand to be like, right?  Me too.

best friends ever

Let me start off by saying that Sarah and I have some of the most amazing friends anyone could ever have. Not only did a bunch of our friends help us move but yesterday we got our first house warming present. The dynamic duo of Tori & Austin sent us Jonathan Adler coffee mugs (just in time for Sunday morning coffee and tea) and we couldn't have been more happy. Thank you SO much guys. We love you!

a hare above the rest

You might think you want to pet this bunny,  but trust us, you don't.  Taxidermic bunnies are not as cuddly as one might imagine.

Don't ask... but isn't it freakin awesome how the horse is giving the hairy eyeball?!  We say yes.

Lou's bridge

The area that separates our back porch from our canyon backyard flooded yesterday. Probably not more than two inches, and certainly not enough to drown a dog, but Ruca wasn't willing to risk it (again with the dainty paws). She hadn't left her perch on the patio table for two days. So what's a man to do? Build his dog a bridge, OBVIOUSLY. Out of what? The nearest mirror that's waiting for it's move to LA, DUH. And what happens when dog spies said bridge? She takes full advantage, pounces, and snaps it in half. OR COURSE.  Bridge=FAIL.

it rained, the yard flooded and ruca bean yates-mora staged a protest

There is a fuzzy someone in our house who doesn't like to get her paws wet on a rainy day (DIVA).  And we've had a few extra exceptionally rainy days here this week.  There's been rain coming in sideways, trees down, hail and tornado warnings. RBY-M decided she was having none of it, and has spent the past three days indoors HARASSING US RELENTLESSLY.  Finally the sun poked out for a few minutes so we let her out thinking she would head immediately for the canyon. Little did we know, she had big plans: she staged a protest.  That dog has a bladder like a camel.  There will be no peeing until the ground is dry, and she doesn't care what anyone has to say about it.

goodbye kitchen that deserves much better chefs than us

It's unfortunate that this kitchen didn't come with a full- time chef....but a couple can dream.

She likes to reminisce about her puppyhood while munching on her kibbles.
