LAST POSTING OF 2015

Lets start with Santa Anita houses:

Here is the view from just inside the gate:

There is a new house going in on first lot on left

and further in on the right Paul and Angela have added some color to the neighborhood

Here is the approach to our house which looks pretty much the same.

But the view from the turnaround at the end of the drive is a little different with the pool house dominating the back yard.

The garden behind the garage now sports 5 new raised beds to replace those lost in the orchard due to construction access.

And also due to the construction we have lots of scrap wood piling up (after we cut it up) 

here is Ane surveying the remains of the scrap pile and another wood stack

we will have lots of fires now.

and the cause of it all, here is the front of the pool house with grass back and some landscaping planted along the front

Inside is the gem of the year our salt water pool-

from the back towards the door.

from the front corner

and from the doorway

out the front door of the pool house we see the soon to be painted closet addition and new sidewalks.

the grass is returning on the back side of the pool house too

Meanwhile over in the orchard the citrus trees are bursting with fruit.

and the avocado is also setting on fruit

 

Inside the house the new walk-in closet has new floor and lots of new closet fixtures. Here is the entry.

with new hanging area on left 

and right

and lots of new shelves

So there we are lots of changes this year 

Seasons greetings to all.

see you next year.....
