Pretty soon we will be moving into our first home together! (that is if the remodeling process doesnt hit another brick wall) It's an older home, built in the 1970's. Older homes need to be fixed here and there...due to old age. But the up side is, it's usually larger with more yard space! Living in the suburbs has always been 'uncool'...but hey I think I'm starting to really dig it...it's peaceful, quiet...less pollution...and I even hear birds chirping! The previous home owner was a 80 something years old Korean lady, she was cute, and was nice. She had been living on her own since her husband passing, and all her children are grown up and have moved away. The reason she had to sell the house was she wanted to be closer to her son up in San Jose as she is getting older. All these plants were her babies! We were both instantly drawn to the yard when we walked into the home. Now I just hope these plants will survive under my hands. Sadly we did have to move away some...it was starting to get too cluttered. Also, we are thinking of water conservation, eventually I hope to plant more succulent plants, since they take much less water! It's essential living in such dry place like LA to consider saving water!

| The side of the house is where all the succulents are! |
 |
| Orange tree at the back of the yard! Harvest should come February? |
 |
| There are roses scattered everywhere...I guess roses are seen as old fashion...but classic! |
 |
| These roses are like on steroid...they keep blooming and blooming...well into the winter! |
 |
| Flower of a succulent plant! |
 |
| Smells like Shitaki mushroom alright, but I bet it's not edible! |
 |
| There's a little bird feeder, I should put some food in it. |
 |
| Quirky succulents! They are so designy looking, definitely one of my favorite! |
 |
| The previous owner said these are African daisies, she planted these to cover the slope at the back of the yard. |
