Activity Update

Starting the day early with a cup of coffee out on the patio.  The sky looks pretty and our tree is definitely in line for it's annual trim.



So much work is being done around the resort but I don't seem to be in the right place at the right time to get photos for you.

All the lights on the pickleball field, all the lights in both Building A and B are being converted to LED lighting.  The pickleball will have 150 watt LEDs for evening play.  Sorry I didn't get out there for a photo or two.

I found part of the crew in the front offices this afternoon as they were changing out the lights.  Again, it's not much of a picture but I had to get back to our card game and couldn't stay to watch.  I have priorities!!



Pickleball courts are being washed and getting a fresh coat of paint.






The weeding process has been delayed because of so many windy days.  Can't spray in the wind!  After an area gets sprayed, a crew has been going around to dig out the weeds as well.  It seems like a monumental task.  Weeds are determined to grow!






I do my share for some of our housewatch customers by pulling out the tallest weeds from the front beds.  I don't pretend to get them all but it's kinda fun to yank on a few to make the beds look better.


We found this cute little butterfly fluttering his wings but not flying away.  I wonder if he was just trying to cool down.




Speaking of action shots...here's a short clip of one of the scorpions we came across recently.  I always ask folks to leave the circuits on so we can turn on lights when we enter houses for inspection.  It's scary reaching into a sink in a dark room.






Just driving down Oasis, you would hardly notice the cute bird nest atop this metal cactus.



Upon closer inspection, mama dove is right there in the heat of the afternoon sun.  Early morning gives her shade.


She's probably sitting there to keep the eggs Cool in the afternoons.  LOL


This bunny better stay hidden.
