Doves, hummingbirds, little quails, butterflies, rabbits and salamanders are in such abundance here that very little time passes without seeing them. I spend much of my time in the kitchen area where my laptop is set up on the kitchen table. From here I can see through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows that look out on an enclosed patio. In it are flowers, an orange and grapefruit tree and a fountain. Each day I wake up to a blue sky and abundant sun.
This is a perfect place to finish my book and to wait for the next step. I have this place until November, so I have time to allow life to unfold.
Here are some photos from the patio.

This is from wikipedia: Kokopelli (the figure in the photo) has been worshipped since at least the time of the Ancient Pueblo Peoples. The first known images of him appear on Hohokam pottery dated to sometime between AD 750 and AD 850.
Kokopelli may have originally been a representation of ancient Aztec traders, known as pochtecas, who traveled to this region from northern Mesoamerica. These traders brought their goods in sacks slung across their backs, and this sack may have evolved into Kokopelli's familiar hump (in fact, many tribes make Kokopelli a trader in this way). These men also used flutes to announce themselves as friendly as they approached a settlement. This origin is still in doubt, however, since the first known images of Kokopelli predate the major era of Aztec-Anasazi trade by several hundred years.
Kokopelli is one of the most easily recognized figures found in the petroglyphs and pictographs of the Southwest. The earliest known petroglyph of the figure dates to about A.D. 1000.
