妙に緑な庭。先日まで茶色だった庭が少しずつ緑になってきたかと思ったら、急に全体が緑に。どうやら不動産の人が庭をスプレーペイントで緑に塗ったらしい。それもこれも少しでも家を早く売りたいという努力から？
Strangely green. This yard was brown for a long time, then it started to turn green couple weeks ago. Then, all the sudden it was all green. It seems that the realtor spray painted the whole front yard green in the effort of selling this house as quickly as possible?
週に何回か友達と近所を散歩するのが日課になっている。歩いていて気がつく事がある。それは、家の前の庭の変化。少しずつ芝の色が茶色くなってきたり、雑草の丈が高くなってきたかな？と思うと。。家の中が空になっていて、しばらくすると不動産の看板が立つ。我が家の近所を回っただけでもそんな家がいくつもある。厳しい時代だ。
I walk in the morning with my friend few times a week in our community. We notice couple things as we walk. The front yard lawn starts to turn brown, the weeds get taller. Then soon the house gets empty and a while later the notice is on the window. Then, the auction, open house or sale signs are up in the yards. I see quite few just in my neighborhood. Tough times.
We used to see them putting this green spray on the side of the freeway and stuff. It's actually a quick growing grass seed. It goes on green, and then it grows in green.
ReplyDeleteSo people are defaulting on their mortgages in Temecula, huh? That's hard. But I'm really glad you aren't in Santa Barbara. And I'm glad you have a friend to walk with. Wish it was me!
