Our Space

If you take a look at a map of Borrego Springs acreage, the first thing you notice is the size of the construction sites. There are many half an acre, one acre and over plots...larger than most communities, I would guess. Our lot is two and one half acres in size and gives us a lot more space than we could ever have imagined!

Our first residence consisted of no garden space at all, the second, a bit more space, but shared with two other residences. The next, a small yard with room for a few fruit trees and several flower beds. After that, at the beachfront, no yard, at all, and a very small lot. Then came Borrego! We delight in our unfenced yard and all the wilderness space that surrounds us...room to finally spread out!

Unlike most city residences, most Borrego homes have exceptionally long driveways. The daily paper is thrown onto the driveway, but we never have to carry it into the house. Lola has been bringing us the morning news since she was three months old. She revels in her morning task and just expects a pat on the head and a cookie in return. Aren't we lucky to have such a willing helper?
