Teh Pheasant…

I’ve been trying to get an up close and personal photo of the resident male pheasant.

The Pheasant

This is the best so far. He’s really skittish, I can hardly open the door without him running off.

Mom’s house…

Due to circumstances beyond my control I had to move out of my place.  The owner needed to move in and I can’t stand him, so I left.  Only due to the fact that real estate sale STILL hasn’t closed as the original buyer couldn’t qualify did I have to move in with my mother.  The good news is that a new buyer has been found and has the credentials to close the sale.  Until then, it’s mom’s house.  It is nice to have a place to stay.  She is renting a small three bedroom house next to our very good friends Marie and Gary.  They own this place and although it looks small it has enough room for the three of us.  Mom, Lorraine, and I.  Lorraine has been in Phoenix since the end of April, so it’s just been my mom and me.

The place is located in the part of Bremerton, Washington that I grew up in.  My old high-school is less than a mile from here and the family of an old girlfriend still lives about a block from here.  :)    The house sits on top of a cliff and has a magnificent view of the water and the west side of Bremerton.  I can even see Mount Rainier from the corner of the yard.  Mom sets out feed for the squirrels and the birds which keeps us entertained.  There is even a pair of pheasants that roam around the yard constantly.  I haven’t been able to get any good pictures as they spook quite easily.

It’s been quite different living in town now.  I’ve had to learn my way around, again.  It is suprisingly quiet here, considering the main street through town is a block away.  It’s somewhat wooded here so that cuts down on the traffic noise.
