This just shows some of the lovely landscaping in the backyard as well as our nice fence.

The window is in the sun room off of the den.

This is a picture of the backyard and play set!

How exciting is that?!

Dreams (cont'd)

I'm not sure what has been going on lately. It's not something I've been eating or drinking before bed, so don't tell me thats what it is... I guess it's just stress, but last night I dreamed about the old apartment and my old roommates. Of course, they still live right across the street and I talk to Tyler about every day, so not reminiscent, but still this dream was weird.

Their landlord recently sold the apartment to another guy, in real life, ask them about it, it's sort of a funny story. But in my dream this new landlord decided that the property was more suited to a nice restaurant than apartments. Without notice, the roommates come home to find this huge steel gate across the entrance, barring them from getting in. So, all four of the guys come to my apartment and crash with all the stuff that isn't left in the apartment. This isn't a good predicament. Meanwhile, the apartment is not torn down, but gutted and by the next time I see the place, there are couples that I can see sitting at fancy tables drinking their wine.

While not as funny in retelling as it was when I woke up this morning, I still wonder whats making me remember these weird dreams.

Dreaming of Jurassic Park

Just call me Booney, I swear, he used to dream about Jurassic Park every other night. Well, I'm in the club now. There's nothing else like waking up realizing you were just hiding from velociraptors in an abandoned warehouse where the air handlers have malfunctioned making it 100+ degrees and 70% humidity. Somewhere between rappelling down the catwalks and running down the crate filled corridors I thought about the absurdity of these giant beasts tracking me down. I wish they would have an existential meltdown and just disappear.

Booney, I hope you read this because we're now partners in dream, next time you should be my companion and bring something good to the dinosaur hunting party in the next dream. Something other than the flashlights that I had to defend myself with last night.
