Busy

 

I've been busy the last few days getting things organized after the deck project. Even though it was outside, any construction event somewhat scrambles your life and brain. 

Also time for the spring switcheroo with the jade plants. These guys are actually from cuttings I potted last summer. 

When the plants get too unwieldy and heavy, I chop them up and plant the pieces. For some reason, Jades love the summer climate here. They thrive with neglect. I bought a new tiered plant stand and like the look on the porch.

Maya and Nova in a tropical courtyard...

Amanda, Tom and the girls are exploring southern Baja on spring break this week. They are skipping the Cabo San Lucas tourist scene and heading by rental car to some of the more remote areas and beaches. Let's see, Taiwan last week-- this week Mexico for Nova. Kinda like when we were teenagers, huh?  Ha ha.

They are traveling with two other families from the Methow Valley so it should be a blast. I am only human, and yes, feeling jealous looking out at our rainy yard. Maybe someday I'll see the amazing wildlife in the Sea of Cortez. In these appalling times, it might be renamed the Sea of America by then.
