Even though I’ve done nothing for the last month due to recuperating from my knee surgery, Mr. L has been busy. Here’s what he’s been up to. San Antonio House: Mr. L made a quick trip down to pick up mail. I think he did a little watering while he … Continue reading →
What a month. Here’s the latest on the Property Update, June 2016. I had a few things to get ready before my knee replacement next week, but everything is what it is. San Antonio House: I made a quick trip down last Saturday to get one last mow in before … Continue reading →
Time to fill the deer feeder. I’m filling the feeder with 80 pounds of deer corn, because the raccoons will steal 40 pounds of it through their creative ingenuity. I’ll load fresh batteries into the cameras and set them at 90 degree angles from one another. I learned last time … Continue reading →
We have a few things to report for Property Update May 2016. San Antonio House: Lawn is mowed. This week, we worked in the backyard.
