Takin' a Break

So - check out the kitchen. Doesn't that island look great? Does it look like someone spent SEVEN MISERABLE HOURS putting it together?

Anyway, I love my kitchen.









And, that dirt disturbed below the oak tree is where our septic system leach field is.

Mark and Brian managed to avoid a couple of small trees that we wanted to save and still maintain enough clear area that I can have a veggie garden.








Buck, who along with Cocoa has been banished from the bed, sneaked up again. Yours truly has been exhausted - and sick - and finally slept so soundly that I didn't even hear him come up to join me.

This is actually my best angle for photos.









And that break - well, good friends Jan and John Thompson came to visit. We got to know them while living in New Mexico, and it's so good that we have managed to keep contact.

So, up to Sequoia Park we went and managed to get to the top of Moro Rock on a beautiful, cloudy, misty morning.

Spring is absolutely my favorite season in the Sierra, and it was just awesome to be able to share it with Jan and John.

Back to reality tomorrow. I have stuff to do at the new house and laundry to do at "home".
