Country Fashion

First comes the work, feeding Barbara's horses, then the fashion show.

The Gaucho look.

This is my Country Girl. I think she would pass any time.

Moving around

Having spent the last week at Michal's in Encinitas, with Moonlight Beach near by,

Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, summer is on his way.

we are now visiting Patricia's Mom and sister in Nevada. We managed to get a great weekend with blue sky and very cold (at nite) temperatures. I guess this is good for being well preserved. I love being with the horses and in the country.

Star is just wondering what's going on

Mom is looking as good as ever at 95 1/2, here with Romeo

Tomorrow, it's back to San Diego very early in the morning, like the first plane's out at 5:30am!

Not much happened

and yet we are doing things that matter, like doing jobs around the house, sometimes cooking dinner, walking the dogs and making ourselves useful in any way we can.
It's fun sharing a place with Aariel and Ryan and the animals, and we are looking for a place around the area of Oceanside, just to be conveniently close to them when the nanny role kicks in.
I am also busy looking for a job around here, have put out a ton of applications, but not may bites.
Patricia got all her work done in the garden, and the first shoots are looking at daylight.
On Patricia's days off, we visit our old haunts at Encinitas and walk Crest just for fun and to see whats going on and to talk to old friends.  We just like the place.

The first bean sprouts have come out.

And here are the radishes 

and the flowers on the fence. 

Soon this will be hanging on the wall.

It is a lot of fun doing little projects, as long as I don't have to.

They are so cute

Went to visit Natalie and Maria today, and this is what I got

Me and the goats with the chicken barn in the back

One little job at a time

Patricia and I have been busy doing our thing around Ryan and Aariel's place for the last week.
On Monday, I got to spend a little time with Michal, burning some Sugar-pine cones we had collected at Anza.

Sitting there in front of the fire with a glass of Port.

In the meantime, Patricia is building an above-ground garden, well above,

with a little help from Aariel. On the right, you can see a bit of Ryan supervising.

And it's done, just the right height for the veggies.

It's now time for planting

with Aariel inspecting.  She's not supposed to have her pregnant hands in the dirt!

Here I am walking Sasha and Banjo.

One of my job's has been to paint the garage floor.

First everything had to come out of the garage,

so I could paint it

and put it all back again. Here's the finished product.

Patricia and I are still looking for a place to live, an actual settle in place.
