Labor Day

Labor Day is here and we turn another calendar page to September.
With "labor" in mind, thought I'd post some pictures of the labor that occurs here daily this time of year.  Street repairs are happening all throughout the park.






And we have the wall to rebuild after the recent windy storm.

If you have one of these cactus plants in your site, it was probably in bloom for the last two weeks.


Now these shorter cactus are in bloom.


Such beautiful blossoms.  Too bad all of you aren't here to share their beauty.


We're getting ready for a big Labor Day potluck on Monday.  Barb Poole asked for volunteers to come set up the tables and chairs.  Excellent response from our residents.  They brought their muscles and got the job done quickly.  Now they're probably all home cooking their favorite dish for tomorrow.


A couple days ago, I posted a picture of a Gila Woodpecker trying to get food from our bee proof hummingbird feeder.  He has now mastered the job and is a regular visitor


Here's a short video of him in action.


Say hello to our newest member of the security team.  This is Scott who will soon be on staff during the night shift.  His 20+ years as a policeman gives credit for this position.  Welcome!!



I end this post with just a quick candid shot of your friend, Mouse.
