We were up at 7:00 am because our cleaning folks were due at 8:00 am, and you guessed it; we had to clean the house before they arrived.   Mary gave her luggage to Domi, who appreciated the gift.  They were … Continue reading →

Saturday Was A Relatively Slow Day!

Posted on Saturday, February 18, 2023 by Paul

We are unsure what “messing around” means, but we did it this morning. We walked the garden, and Mary talked to her transplanted babies (the non-producing strawberries). I transplanted about fifteen plants from the old dirt into the new, hoping … Continue reading →

We were up early and turned on the heat; it was 43 degrees outside.  Silly Scout wanted out, so I opened the door, and he departed like a rocket.  I sliced up an orange, and he was with his nose … Continue reading →

Today we are adding to the garden.  We wanted some fruit trees and found them at H&H Nursery in Long Beach.  We took the van, and with Colleen’s help, we brought home three beauties. Before we left, I tried on … Continue reading →

Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2023 by Paul
