New Clotheslines

Before Kai left he replaced 4 of the 5 clotheslines. One actually had already broken about a week before he arrived, 3 others were worn and looked like breaking was imminent. Yesterday as I was checking the status of the lettuce I noticed that the lines were a little loose; the bath towels would be hitting the retaining wall for the garden. So I picked up some turnbuckles & redid all 5 lines.

"During": the 2 farthest lines are already changed, other 3 are waiting for their turn.

Never send a man to do a woman's job.

A male brown anole was defending his territory this morning.


I have been watering the orange tree regularly since I arrived here. With the regular watering, it has been flowering regularly. And producing lots of oranges!


Curtis & Lori came by after lunch today. We worked on opening up the envelopes from Mom's service and recording the koden that was received. We received 62 envelopes at the service and 23 more through the mail or in person. Mom's obituary came out in today's paper so there will probably be more envelopes coming in.

Happy Birthday to Rita, Ryan, & Maya!
