I skipped last month’s update, because we were mostly traveling and hadn’t gotten much done. I don’t know what the excuse is for this month. The San Antonio House: We got basic yard work completed. We trimmed the alley hedge. We trimmed the front hedges. We downed a tree by … Continue reading →
What’s been happening in and around the property this past month? I got some watering done at the San Antonio house. We’re in San Antonio now, and thanks to Ingrid over Mexico and Manuel in the Baja region, we’re getting some much needed rain, so I’ll be able to focus … Continue reading →

In some ways, it’s been a slow month for us. Mr. L has three of four sides on the big door at the shop weatherstripped, which means a source of drafts has been eliminated. We cleared half the showroom to set up for a garage sale next month. We’re in … Continue reading →
