The Mad Inventor and I move into our new, blue house

I got Douglas a subscription to Make Magazine for our anniversary, and the first issue arrived yesterday. He disappeared inside it, emerging only occasionally to exclaim about his new plans to visit local junkyards to find parts to build a jet engine, or a solar powered car. Or, if junkyards turn out not to have any good junk, he's planning to build sailboat out of a single sheet of plywood. Good thing our new house has a basement. I think he's enjoying his new career as a kept man. He may never work again, if he can help it!

We're moving into our new blue house this afternoon, and I will post some photos of the garden and such. This will be the first time since before Christmas that we have lived in our own house, and we are oscillating with glee.

Here are some photos, as promised. Here is the front of the house:



And the back of the house:



And Saira lounging in the yard:



And one of the seaplanes that we can see flying over every day:



And the mountains we can see from our back porch (those of you who know the area might recognize the Lions):
