Winter 2018 and into Spring 2019

Naomi and Kieahla at it again baking~ this time snickerdoodles. 

The persimmon tree is magnificent with all her fruit, as is the "asian pear" tree.

A photo Naomi took of Kieahla's good friend Koko. Those two faces are too adorable! And my girl Sheon, she's taking photography to another level. I know My camera would do so much more for me if only I'd give it the attention I should.

We found these pjs, and I didn't pay attention to the size ; )  too small actually. I could remedy it by cutting off the feet. We use those dog-face feet separately still.

This greenhouse of David's was moved from the high school he taught at. He ok'd my idea to move it down to right at the garden for easier access. Easy to say!

Taka spent about 5 weeks, taking it apart, preparing the foundation, piecing it back together, and making repairs to reinforce and make it stand straight and level.

From that muddy spot down to where I helped a little, taking piece by piece below (where Taka stands) Oh, yes, and between rainfalls. Covering the foundation so it wouldn't get muddy. Laying down straw, then wheel barrels of gravel. 

DONE, the weekend before we flew off for Japan, on March 21st, 2019.

 and from the back door:

Two quotes I love which I found via fb.

I'd love to know whose quotes these are. 

But it feels like the ancestors are partly- at least - behind them ; )
