Casa Rosa (permanence)

I bought a house, a place to live and die in. First, I tore up all the carpet and spent weeks dissolving and scraping black mastic (a gum adhesive) from the cement, which I then hand-buffed with a random orbital sander up to a 120 finish. Second, I put furniture in it such that I might sleep and work.

This is my home. Now that the stucco work is finished, it is all pink.

Overzealously loading redwood planks into the Jeep, I cracked the windshield.

These "goatheads" are everywhere, and stick into your feet.

After emptying most of the shed, all that is left is Chuck's El Rey stucco (maybe pink). A rug to make things homier.

Petals has taken to hunting, but only easy prey. If I can catch it still alive, I release it away from her, but they're baby birds and may not survive.
