The disaster that is my room.
|
Each box on the shelves contains between 10 and 30 models. The computer is almost covered.
|
The living room of "Game Central." This is where we set up the gaming table once a month.
|
A charming dining area featuring original artworks by a living artist.
|
Our kitchen was brand new in the 1950's.
|
|
Ah, the sundeck. It took me 3 years to get the landlandy to replace the old one.
|
The garage. Looks like 2 bikes on the edge of chaos, eh? Wrong--there are 2 more bikes in there you can't see.

The Garden in May: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The front garden.
|
The front herb garden, featuring rosemary bushes.
|
The side herb garden. Everything is very small--early days yet.
|
The guerilla pumpkin patch, located behind our building in "no-man's land."
|
The bicycle trail behind our building. Notice the overhead BART track complete with passing train.
|
|
A detail of the flower garden planted along the bicycle trail by a local retired guy.
|
More bicycle track garden. The flowers extend some 50 feet down the track!

The Garden in July: |

The side herb garden 2 months later. Sunflowers above, basil below.
|
Sunflowers and morning glories co-exist peacefully.
|
The track down the back of the building...
|
...leading around the fence to my secret guerilla garden.
|
The pumpkin patch 2 months later.
|
|
Little pumpkins all over the place!

The Garden in September: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bounty of the harvest: pumpkins in a row.
|
The 2 biggest sunflower seed heads. I'll save these to plant next year's crop.
|
The side herb garden has quietened down now. The matured sunflowers have been ruthlessly culled from the herd.
|
The friendly Hitler-style guard cat at the guerilla garden.
|
The remnants of the pumpkin patch.
|
|
A new round of small pumpkins are furiously growing before October comes.
|
And the morning glories on the sun porch are going to seed--just like me!
