I call this house and example of "old desert". I imagine that it was built 40 or 50 years ago and was 'out in the county' at the time. It has an Airstream travel trailer and an old VW bug parked out back. We are just down the street, in the middle of 'Lego-land' - stucco houses with tile roofs and palm trees, that look so much alike that I had to count the houses from the corner to be sure that I didn't walk into the neighbor's house on my walk home from work when we first moved here.
It reminds me that we live in the desert, no matter how much we have air conditioned it.
This reminds me that we live in Desert Crazy Town:
This house is a few blocks away from us (note the stucco and tile roof!). It has a full size trapeze in the back yard. Circus people live there. Three generations. I wish they were our neighbors!

Thank you for leaving a comment so that I could find you! I love people, and learning about others' lives, I guess, is my own brand ov voyeurism. Loved, loved the trapeze in the back yard! (I want one, too!). And, I love your description of your blog's name in your profile. This blogging hobby has been such a blessing of connection for me--like your mom's club! Thanks again, C.
The trapeze would never be approved by our HOA, but then...such interesting people would be missed out on!
In the beginning of Gary Payton's Sonics career, he lived a few blocks from us and had a full-sized, lighted basketball court in his backyard. We thought that was pretty cool...but a trapeze?...that's the coolest!
It is truly a crazy town. But interesting!! Love, WS
I can't imagine the trapeze in NJ, but you never know. They would probably make very interesting neighbors and could come in handy maybe for block parties. If I lived next door to them I would only be concerned that they'd turn on the "big top" lights to practice at night. :)
Wow! I want to live by circus people! How fun!
