look out at an angle, you can see a little more greenery. &nbsp;Nice inspiring view while we do the dishes, don&#8217;t you agree? &nbsp;Maybe we should paint a mural on there.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to the living room, we have a big window\/sliding door combo dealy. &nbsp;Basically, you can see our driveway. &nbsp;Hannah and Nathanael&#8217;s scooters are backed up against the

you might as well have a good look, right?<\/p>\n<p>Ok, finally we get to the master bedroom. &nbsp;Those are vines you see in the middle (not sure how many of them are actually alive).<\/p>\n<p>You can also see various other plants and flowers, the tall thing on the right grows chilies, and in the middle is a little lime tree. &nbsp;Right outside the window is a raised terrace (is that what you call it? &nbsp;&quot;Terrace&quot; makes it sound so fancy!).<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=7973\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
