the softer side of pensiero

Here are some exterior views of our soon-to-be rental house (for those of you who missed the initial informative post, click here).

The front:

(I love this door. It’s really wide and I love the color.):

Around back, the little carport and covered patio (the windows directly behind that little orange tree are the windows into the covered patio)

A little side yard, all the way around back and to the other side of the house:

A little patio off of the sideyard (those open windows are the other side of the covered patio I mentioned above):

And a few of the citrus trees out front (aren’t they cute?):

And another fantastic thing about our new place – really, we can hardly contain our excitement about this part – is that we FINALLY get a BLUE RECYCLE TRASHCAN! (Hanford just got these for residential areas in the last 6 months or so, and apartments don’t have them at all. We’ve long been mourning our inability to recycle everyday household items such as cereal boxes and milk cartons, but that’s all in the past now.)

Feel free to let us know what you think!
