We get up at 2 am when we are at Nuestra Casa. We head out in the pitch dark to swim, cycle, and walk. It is still relatively cool at that time of the morning. And even better, we have this paradise that we live in all to ourselves.
At about 4:30 am we start to see the sky brighten up in the east, and the birds begin to serenade us.
After breakfast, we immediately head out to our back patio to enjoy our birds and all the beauty that surrounds us. In the mornings we live on our patios every day.
We had never imagined that anything could be as special and wonderful as sitting on our porches on Whidbey Island during June and July—and watching and hearing the birds. But we were wrong. Nuestra Casa is just as special. Except here at Nuestra Casa, we enjoy this music every day, all year long. We love it!
This is what we see and hear when we relax on our patio.
It is summer here in Mesa. And by noon it is hot! So, a little before noon, we head inside to the haven of our cool stucco home. Since we get up at 2 am, by noon it is actually our late-afternoon.
Amazingly enough, we can still hear the birds singing to us. In fact, when we head to bed it is still light outside, and our birds sing us to sleep with their lullabies.
