When I got the lawn mower out of it’s storage “shed” this morning, I spotted movement and the beautiful patterned colors of a snake!
(number coincidence: this picture happens to be camera image #666!)
The little guy seemed quite prepared to threaten me, and kept very focussed on my position, but happily left the area while I cut the grass:
Over the last few weeks, Margaret’s been researching selling our Gloucester home, and now has created a very detailed “flyer” describing our home, as well as adding details to Zillow, and putting up a For Sale By Owner sign:
We will see how the rest of the year proceeds, it might be nearly as significant as 1996, when we emigrated to USA!
I’ve done lots of wiring in my life … short wire links joining components together when I was a teenager, printed circuit board wiring at my various jobs, even power wiring run in walls and attics.
But I’ve never done wiring when the cables are inches thick, which is what is happening near 8002 at the moment, along the side of highway I-429. Over the last couple of months there’s been loads of activity as the masts were erected and prepared, and recently there’s been lots of helicopter activity.
I’d assumed that the helicopters were being used to check progress, but taking the time to go out and watch yesterday, I found that the helicopters are actually “installation tools”! Enjoy the video:
Amazing!
As we approach the time when we must go North again, it’s time to transplant the little Orange “trees” from pots to the ground. They grew from seeds from the one Orange fruit we had from our tree here, and they’re still just a couple inches tall, dwarfed by the Silk Floss tree that Margaret also grew …
Hopefully they survive and grow a bit more, while we are away …
We had almost a huge rain / thunder storm late afternoon, but it missed us by a mile or two – instead we got light rain and a spectacular double rainbow!
