I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Unpacked in Payson

This is the front of our rental house. As you can see there is quite a bit of rock/granite. Each plant has a drip line so it's pretty maintenance free. We can only water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Half the garage is packed with boxes that we are not going to open until we move into our new house.

We have a bit of lawn in the back which Buster likes. We thought we could sell our lawnmowers at our estate sale but not yet.

The kitchen is finally unpacked....that took the longest to get together.

The cat pen is working at night although the cats hate it. We are keeping them coyote safe. We have heard the coyotes on two occasions. They have a high pitched "yip" that is actually quite eerie.

Our new washing machines arrived yesterday. Boy are they nice....have the steam feature to save water and they are very quiet.

We are going to relax tomorrow in honor of Labor Day.
