A few house updates!


Here are a load of our strong friends hauling a HUGE Giant Bird of Paradise (that was free on Craig's list - if we volunteered to dig it out - which took 3 hours and lots of muscle) and setting it up in our back yard. We are creating a tropical look around the pool, with the help of our landscaping designer extraordinairre, Pete. :)

Here is "Big Bird," as we call him, in the daytime. Lookin' happy!

Here's one of the raised beds Marshall built -- tomatoes, beans, onions, cukes, squash, corn, all kinds of good things growing in 3 of these!

London harvesting a few early strawberries!

The pool fence in, and you can also see "Mr. Slurpy" our Kreepy Krawler that eats up all the pool yuck. It works great!
