Flamie House - Texas Flora Edition : Part 1

This story begins last year (not a long story, don't worry).  To brighten up our apartment, we picked up some tiny succulents and a baby cactus.  A few we kept inside and they did pretty well.  Some of these broke off as they grew and were replanted, otherwise just took over their space and filled it all up.  When we moved to the new house, we took along the one planter and one pot we had.  Everything survived the move and this past weekend we decided to brighten up our front porch with over-the-rail planters filled with old and new succulents.  At the same time we finally got ourselves a composter.  We can't wait to see how it all grows, but for now, we'll share the photos of our old and new plants with you all.

Introducing the Flamie House

Welcome family and friends to the our new house!  Continuing with the naming convention for everything we own, this will of course be the Flamie House.  Over the coming weeks and months there will undoubtedly be more photos, posts, and updates concerning the house, but for now I've included a some shots of the outside and a couple key rooms from the inside.  I don't think Rowan and I could have found a more perfect house for us.  It has a wonderful yard with so much greenery, a big kitchen, rooms for entertaining, chatting, and relaxing, and enough bedrooms for years to come.  Hopefully, we'll get a chance to have everyone out at some point or another, but in the mean time, keep your eye on the blog and we'll try to update it frequently with news.





The panorama doesn't give a good feeling for the size of the backyard, but instead gives a better overview of what you see when sitting out back.


First time we've owned a driveway to park the car in.  Silly, but exciting!

Rowan kicks-ass at mowing the lawn.  We got a sweet battery powered mower, with plenty of juice to deal with the entire lawn.

Did I mention the wrap-around porch on the front of the house?


Our tiny apartment garden mostly survived the move.

Inaugural bbq and beer in the backyard!

The "entertainment" room.  It's not this empty anymore, but still has a ways to come.

Mmm, kitchen... this definitely was a selling point of the house for us.  A big kitchen with lots of space to work in.

Neither of our cats have seen stairs in their life before...


Scimi has discovered that the counter in the main bathroom is her new favourite spot to relax and sleep.
