Painting has started up again and we're staying with the white color. Give it a chance. It should look pretty good when done with some finishing touches. Here's an artist rendition of before and after of the main mailbox station.
Lots of taping and spraying between the buildings.
Our landscapers planted some nice vinca flowers in the entrance way. Looks nice and will get even nicer as they grow. Vincas love the summer heat.
Don and I are still fascinated by the number of bees up in the palm trees. Thousands in every tree. They don't bother anybody down on the ground as they're too busy with their pollinating work. We sent up the drone for a closer look this morning.
Videos are much better if you watch them on a bigger screen. Use your computer or broadcast to your TV.
Tom Gottfried sent some info regarding a workshop being held at the Avocado Nursery this weekend. Tom and Bev are creating a lovely rock garden with many kinds of succulent plants in front of their house.
I stopped by the Avocado Nursery today to make arrangements for the next installment of the rock garden. Phil told me he is doing an irrigation workshop at the nursery next Sat. 6/20, 9 AM. They meet under a big shade tree in front of the nursery.
They will be covering
- Types of economical timers
- Poly as opposed to PVC systems
- Modern emitters
- Garden irrigation designs
- Irrigation for orchards, tropical, & cactus gardens
This could be helpful for those who have or plan on installing an irrigation system. The workshop is free of charge.
He is located on Overfield Rd just north of McCartney which is just south of the university on the east side of the road.

Happy Adoption Day for Mouse!
Three years ago today, Mouse moved into our home from the Valley Humane Society.
He has won a place in our hearts even when he's a bit of a pest.
