As you face our house, the home on the right has been occupied pretty much since we moved in. Looks like a bunch of younger people sharing the house. These are the folks that own "Willow's dreaded enemy, the Lhasa Apso." Actually, the Lhasa Apso may be perfectly friendly; Wil is just so wary of other dogs that the Lhasa senses she's afraid and goes after her.

The house on the left was still under construction when we moved in, but soon had an "under contract" sign on it. The prospective homeowners had paid the extra to have a set of French doors downstairs exiting under the deck, which they'd had a concrete pad put under.

Unfortunately it looks like their loan fell through; the house went back on sale.

In the last week there had been a flurry of various activities around the house: people going in and out, the telephone installed. Over the weekend I saw someone upstairs working at the windows and workmen were inside stripping out the carpet and putting in wood floors. The "under contract" sign had disappeared and we saw Elizabeth (the agent) walking up with the Private Residence Sign.

Today I got home and saw chairs and plants on the front porch, two cars from Texas in the driveway, a grill on the deck and some chairs and a metal firepot. And someone was there fencing in the back yard. Blinds are up.

By George, I think we have new neighbors at last. :-) They seem to have a Darwin fish on one of their cars. Maybe they're fannish? (N.B. Nope, not a Darwin fish. Oh, well.)
