The Homefront

Although Amy and Paul generally blog the adventures that happen away from home, there are certainly plenty of exciting things happening in our own backyard. First off, we actually have a backyard in which to have said adventures, which has been a blessedly new experience for us renters. Secondly, many years ago some landscaping genius planted a brilliantly beautiful bougainvillea in the backyard, and we get to enjoy the lush rewards while pushing James in his swing. Thirdly, our backyard has, until recently and unbeknownst to us, been home to an enormous spider. Sadly or happily, depending on your love of eight-legged creatures, she, like Charlotte, laid her eggs and then died in one of our camping chairs, surprising Paul when he wanted to take a seat.
