Property Nov.2011. The almond & banana trees are getting really tall. Everything is green & going wild. Always gardening to do. I cut some palm leaves from our big tree & split them down the middle. I wired them on the fence for privacy. The vine on the front died. I was told that wild vine only lives a couple years. So I'm looking for another vine to plant. Something with flowers. Copa de Oro or another Bolganvia.

The sticks are holding up the bananas in the tree. The poor tree leans Way over when they have a bunch of weight hanging. Another month until they're ready. I made awesome banana bread last week.

We towed our new white parts van with our gray van. I drove & Gary was in the wh. using brakes to slow me down. worked perfect. I'm glad I have towing experience.

We bought another Van for parts.

Hey there's a butterfly in my drink !

The dogs Bandita & Wahine & Shelly the cat share a bed.

I painted my old dingy kitchen sink area with blue oil paint that we had on hand. Gary calls it Smurf blue. I had it all over my hands but we didn't have paint thinner or mineral spirits. Did you know you can take oil paint off your skin with nail polish remover??
The guys are doing construction and I find something to keep me busy as well.
I should take another picture. I have my pans, cups and stuff hanging all over it and plates, bowls, silverware drawers are up on the shelf.  Very cheap & nice upgrade.
We are almost all done with construction. I'll take photos when it's all cleaned up. xoxo

Ranga & Shelly ... Cats in the mango tree

The cats get along with the dogs but it's nice they jump up in the big mango tree.
