Week of Activities

The last week since my last post has been busy with lots of chores and projects around the house. Josie has been off since Monday and we have done some things in the back of the house and also had our landscaper come in and do a cleanup and trim of the bushes in the front of the house. He will return in January to trim our fruit trees and the palm trees. Speaking of the fruit trees, we have an abundant supply of oranges and lemons this year. These shots are of two of our trees that are just loaded with fruit:

There is no way that we can consume all that fruit ourselves. Josie will take some into work and we will offer some to anybody else that wants some. The oranges are very sweet and the lemons are perfect.

We also picked up some "deer and rabbit fence" spray to help keep the rabbits off of our back patio. We are getting tired of getting out the blower to remove all the rabbit "poop" that we are getting. So far, it has done the job as I haven't seen any new poop since we sprayed.

It looks like we might have some termites to deal with. When we returned from our summer trip, we discovered some mysterious material hanging from small holes in our family room ceiling. We didn't think much about it until we saw some photos of the exact same material that was representative of termites. I will contact a company to come out and investigate the situation asap as we don't want to wait on that problem.

I got the oil changed in the Escape this morning so that is ready to go for the next six months.

I'll keep everybody posted on any significant happenings as they occur - especially as we get closer to Christmas...
