Home Sweet Home

Our rental home here in Prescott. This is our "new to us" car, a 2003 Hyundai Sante Fe, which we absolutely love. It's so spacious and smooth riding compared to our worn out Malibu. An added feature is that the passenger riding in the back can actually have a conversation with the driver because you can hear each other! I sat in the back of our Malibu with Levi on our trek out here and basically had just Levi to talk to because the road noise was so loud!
These next two pictures are some views from our back "yard" and the last one is taken from our street. We are surrounded by mountains around here and we love it! An added feature to our view from the back "yard" is all the wildlife we get to see. We get everything like lizards, quail, antelope (or pronghorn as they call them here), cattle and even coyotes. The only thing separating us from the field back behind the house is a cattle fence about 50 yards away. In fact, the coyotes often slip underneath the fence and walk around the long gully that goes behind our street. They have woken me up more than once howling and carrying on! We also have to make sure our dog Jasmine doesn't go outside without us. She's the perfect size for a coyote snack! Not to worry though, it's just how it is around here. I was telling a lady from church the other day about our coyotes and she told me she had a bear walking around her neighborhood the other day. How crazy is that?!
