BeBe ... our Rental in Duck

 We made good time yesterday leaving St. Michaels around 10 and

arriving at our rental called 'BeBe' in Duck at 4.  The rental

companies have check-in down pat ... homes have an electronic

key-less entry system that is not operational until exactly at 4p.m.

 Our view of the ocean ... we can see it and we

can hear it ... but we have not walked to it yet.

 One of the things we wanted to get away from was pollen

and guess what ... we are surrounded by tree pollen!

 Trees bring birds and bird sounds and happy westies

watching and waiting for birdies to fly by.

 We have neighbors across the yard with a small dog.

Of course these two started introducing themselves first thing.

 We are impressed by the interesting ceiling angles in the living room and

kitchen.  We also like the windows ... lots and lots of windows.

 I did some simple sewing this morning and

this afternoon I will pull out the rentals

iron and ironing board so I can get this top done.

 Designated as my sewing room.

 Second level, middle room.  My Bernina is happy with the space.

 We actually love the elevator.  

 Middle level look down to the front door.

 Basement level.

 The back yard is fenced but not well enough for little

westies.  I spotted a 8 inch gap between the fencing and with

Derby this would be a problem.   The owners

installed a watering system for the grass and beds which I'm not

happy about.  I didn't plan on soaking wet dogs first

thing in the morning [pre-coffee!]. 

 I found the brand new washer and dryer ... it will be

interesting to see how I like a front load washer.

 This is still part of the basement level.  It was so easy

unloading the car.  Wilson backed up to this door and

loaded things into the elevator just a few feet away.

 From the basement up to the mid-level.

Lots and lots of steps in this house.

 Julep at the mid-level looking out the big front

window watching the new hood.

 The side deck - upper level.  We have blocked this

off from the westies since we didn't have enough fence.

 They have enough room on this portion of the deck

to run or just relax and bake in the sun.

That's it for this mornings post.  We have a 12:30 lunch

date with our friends Charlie and Katie who are here on

vacation also.  They are renting a house on the Sound side of

Duck which is actually within walking distance of us.  

Charlie and Katie rented a pet friendly home so they

could bring their golden retriever, Roxy.
