It is so pretty and green here! The extremely nice neighbors have been keeping the lawn mowed....but there are lots of pine needles and leaves left from the fall/winter. It does make the place look a little "deserted". So, I will get out the leaf blower and do a little policing this morning.
We are just here for one day and night. We haven't made any close contact with anyone - although we did stop the car on the driveway and speak to Dick and Lindy from 10 feet away . The house was in good shape for having been left on it's own for 6 months. Only one dead mouse found, no dead bugs, and the plants survived! (Thanks, Pat and Diane for watering them!) The toilets were a bit moldy and the water had evaporated significantly but other than a slight musty smell all was well.
I missed the daffodils blooming, although Pat did text me a photo back a couple of months ago. The irises are just starting to bloom now. So pretty and delicate! I just love the fragrance!
And my one lonely azalea is blooming too.
We'll pack up all the lawn equipment and a big list of other tools for the Oriental lot in the truck and trailer and head back to the coast.

Hey T, what sim card? I must be forgetful....
ReplyDeleteI thought Richard had your sim card...and I couldn't call you til you got it back...remember when I was in Denver your call was from some Bahamian number...

Hey - yes, I turned off my Verizon card while we were there and used wifi to do all my calling. (So it showed a weird number when I made calls, not my normal number.) But we turned the Verizon chip back on as soon as we were near the USA and it worked just like usual. Love, K
