Parade of Homes 2016

Every year St. George hold their Parade of Homes to see new ideas in building and decorating. Here's the Sunriver model.

High on a hillside in Sunriver, not too exciting exterior...
The view to the North is spectacular...
This is the great room with family room, dining and kitchen all together
Behind the couches is the dining room and kitchen side by side.
Looking from dining area to the kitchen.
Fun office computer room with lots of stuff to dust...lol!
Guest bedroom, note black and white theme throughout the home
Another guest room each with its own bathroom
Master bedroom has a view out the back that is spectacular.
Master bath has two separate sink areas, jacuzzi tub and shower

The other sink area in master bath, man is standing at shower entrance
The shower area was blah, did have two shower heads but no artsy stuff.
Laundry room was fun with tiles and cabinets...

New cabinets hide the dish washer under the glass cupboard doors

Three ovens: a steaming, warming & induction oven

Larger sink area and hidden frig on the left with freezer in the bottom
Stankding island hides a microwave, will have six stools for sitting
Decorataive back splash tiles also trim the sink area-see below.
James like to cook, he's making snowman pancakes.
The cousins Rory and Eddie love the brownie sugarfree man.
Can we eat it...please!
Yummy chocolate!
Everyone likes to play with fun uncle Daniel.
James was popular for giving piggy back rides.

SPRING PLANTINGS

Caryn and I on our weekly play day returned to Star Nursery to get some plants for our yards. The weather has been lovely with temps in the 70s and lots of sunshine. Perfect planting weather before our rain and wind storm of last night, but all is well with the flower garden for now. The roses and berries are pruned too.

Our shopping cart at Star Nursery filled with Valentine flowers to buy
Lunch at my favorite place Paula's Mexican Restaurant
with a chicken advocate salad! It's good....
In our side yard, hubby is planting my Sunscape Daisies

First they need to be released from their pots then their
roots need untangled so they can grow. 
The official name of these fun yellow daisies that will grow in the desert
Gentle hands carefully plant the daisies
Job done, while i weeded the strawberries and watched hubby work.
Our pampus grass grew great this year but our little dwarf peach tree is struggling with bores. Last year it had 50 or more peaches but a local critter ate them all when ripe before we could get any...sob!
