With the Board meeting yesterday, we did not have lots of time to get chores done. But here are a few updates.
1. Dan put on disposable gloves and pulled out all the poison oak he found, especially close to the house. He does not seem to get infected from it but used the gloves just to be sure.
2. I deadheaded one of the roses of dead bloom and also trimmed some of the rosemary by the stairs.
3. As we were leaving today, a tree had fallen across the road but not in it. The high winds from last night likely did it in. Dan was able to pull down some of the lowest branches so we could drive under it but he says it is a big job to get it down based on how it fell and likely needs ‘skill’ to do it. It is hung up on a tree across the road. Location just as you are leaving is just after the road to the lake and after the rock wall. You cannot miss it.
4. No obvious mouse problems which is good news.
5. Had a visit from a fox Saturday night and lots of jack rabbits. There was a deer inside the compound this morning, standing in the sunshine. Likely a nest of quail in trees between the road and the wood shed.
6. I am researching Sunbrella fabric for the curtains for the front porch. Finding lots of lovely options so we can have the curtains made.
7. We had not been to Shang in quite some time as we were caring for Kirsten and then having to deal with the ‘details of death’, as I call it. So it was nice to be back again. We needed to get away.
8. Big thumbs up on the lattice over the awning over the round table. It looks really good so kudos for that effort.
