Incoming!
This month we invited granddaughter Kayla from Oregon to visit, and mom (daughter Cassie) decided to join her. Different people and generations have different interests and ideas in what they want to see and do so we try to roll with the punches.
This year we will have had a plethora of visitors during our season here and we try our best to get the weather gods to cooperate and make it a memorable visit. This being the spring and the rainy season, we are not always successful. They left with a great experience under their belts, so the visit was a winner.
Meanwhile, we had a little time to have friends over and get a little more work done around our pool project. It is a lot like being in the army. A lot of 'hurry up and wait'. Nothing happens for quite a while, then a ton happens quickly. Currently, we are in the 'a lot happens quickly' phase. If we don't have a "TA-DA!" picture next month, I will shoot them all. That is just a figure of speech, people, please don't call the police saying I am threatening violence.
It is nice when we have exciting things to report but alas, a lot happens that is somewhat less than completely exciting even if they are important. Like the roof repair to stop a leak. This month, we planted and ran drip irrigation to 65 bamboo trees as well as to a number of massive pots. As seen below, we started the preparation to lay our artificial turf but it won't be done today. Various landscaping is in the works but it won't be finished today. Do you see a pattern here? A lot of gonna's but not done today!
Meanwhile, dinner parties are the order of the day so Janice gets to display her considerable cooking skills.
