Homeowners

We are in the house!

Not only are we in the house,

but we also have furniture.

No more air mattress.

No more camping chairs.

These two pictures were taken within hours of each other.

We have been busy!

We are slowly getting used to our new appliances.

On night one, we used our brand new oven

to cook a frozen pizza.

It was a great success.

Also on night one, we had a couple of lovely surprises.

At dusk, we were entertained with a beautiful light show.

Courtesy of this brilliant insect.

Also at dusk,

We were not itching,

or scratching,

or swatting,

or cursing,

or fleeing

this horrid creature

(aka: the MN state bird).

Any life long Carolinian will tell you they do indeed have mosquitos.

And they do.

I have seen one or two at dusk.

What these Carolinians do not understand,

is the evening assault us Upper Midwesterners experience.

When many a bonfire, evening stroll, or sunset gaze is interrupted.

When it's a race to see who can get inside the fastest.

And God help you

if it takes you longer than two seconds

to close the door.

So far, we are thrilled with this place.

And thankful to once again be homeowners.
