Palm Trees Trimmed

This photo looks a lot different than the two posted earlier this week as all the palms in the area have been trimmed.  There are tons and tons of leaves and debris removed from the trees every year.  




Maverick went up for a bird's eye view this morning.


I don't have any exciting news to report as other than our afternoon card games, Tapas Tuesdays, and Saturday night bingo .... it's pretty quiet around here.  Thought I would share some random pictures of the Heplers as we go about our house watch chores this past week.

The worst part of the job is fixing and maintaining the many irrigation issues that arise.  Sometimes there's not enough water....sometimes too much.  These underground timers are the worst!  Just getting down there is hard enough but this brand of timer is very complicated.


I water these potted cactus plants............when mama dove isn't perched on the nest she builds there every year.


We get silly with all the photos we take.


Many many nesting doves.


Underground hoses spring a leak.  This requires Mr. Maldonado's tender care.


Another one of the dreaded timers.


In the early morning, it is actually cooler outside than it is inside houses.  Inside doesn't cool down very much when the AC is set at 90.

Always water pails to rinse and refill.


RVs and 5th wheels have water buckets too.


I like it when folks leave a scrub brush to get the heavy water deposits.


Sprinkler heads have a way of popping off and need replaced.


Very uncomfortable places to work for my poor hubby.


Another underground hose with a break in the line.

It was a quiet afternoon so thought I'd play some computer games.
Guess I have to share.
