Here is the view from the corner of our street southwest toward the Wasatch Mountains and some nice clouds.
One of the handy things if you're a runner, is that the streets and avenues are all stamped on the sidewalks at intersections. The blocks are all a tenth of a mile, making them not line up with the rest of the city grid, but making it very easy for planning a running route on the fly.
Fortunately we have a private back yard, because this is the view from our shower window...
It looks out over our birdfeeders and patio.
And this is the view from my office window - literally behind my monitors. The small deck belongs to Oink's owners.
Just below my office window is our grill, which is hooked right into the gas line, so no need for tanks (the backyard also comes with one of those outdoor heaters, like they have for smokers at restaurants, that does run on a propane tank, but we won't be needing that for a while!). We grilled some harissa marinated chicken for lunch on Sunday. The peppers in the harissa came from the pepper farm we are going to have the wedding at!
