Pavilion Progress

 All our recent rain has brought green grass to our desert.  This is the lot right across from the main gate.  The grass/weeds have grown so tall that we can't see the burrowing owls that reside there unless they sit way up on their perch.  I'm happy to report that they're still there as I see them occasionally in the mornings.


With the house all torn up due to flooring installation, we've been having brunch at the Big House restaurant downtown.  BIG house is right as the portions are huge!  Delicious food.  Highly recommend the place.


Their french toast is awesome!


All the oleanders and shrubs have been removed from around the north pool.  It's bound to be easier to keep the pool clean without all the bushes surrounding it.  Will get more photos when the project is finished.


We found another mud dauber nest on a house this week.


This is a beauty as it is nice and fresh.  Kat from Kat's Pest Control mentioned that these nests are usually built up high to be close to the food source.  That food source is spiders.  The daddy longlegs love to gather around doorways.


Found a paper wasp next under a porch this morning.  Haven't seen one of these in years.  They don't produce honey but build similar hives.


Work continues on the new pickleball pavilion.





Have a GREAT day!
