OH rebecca, your uncle's property sounds just like what I wish I could afford, even without the ocean view. I am afraid I could not pay a fair price on 3 acres and still have money left to build the house though. I also have to stay where I can commute to my current job and Im not sure I could do an hour and a half two ways 4 days a week. Boy those people moving because of the fog sure make me want to laugh, I dont know about the rest of you in the area but I think the fog can so beautiful sometimes. I would sure love to see a pic of the 40 foot flame tree in bloom, it must be magnificent. I am planning to eventually purchase something larger than what I am looking for now, but I have to move sooner than expected and I am just so frustrated by renting that I will do anything to get out of it. You see six months after I moved into the house I rent the owner decided to sell it. This means that if they sell it, at any time with a 30 day notice I can be asked to leave as there is no lease. I have also had to tolerate intrusion after intrusion for the last year. Somebody comes to inspect, or show, or asses at least every couple of weeks . Such a headache, AHH! I try to relax by enjoying the flowers. I've posted some pics that I took for everybody to enjoy of some oregon coast plants that are blooming here now. First one is Tulipa Kaufmannia
