Rabbit Proof Fence

Cloudy weather, waiting for the rain!

Will this thing ever stop growing? Do you think there really is a treasure at the top of the stalk???

Here is my grape vine that I planted last year. The other one to the right of it is out of the picture. It was dead so I pulled it out.

Oh What a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day . . . .

Thank heavens I don't live in Australia where there is a constant war with jack rabbits. I have been chasing cottontails out of the yard. I got up early, picked a bag of tomatoes and a bag of broccoli. Then I set to work cutting and wiring chicken wire to the sides, bottoms, edges--you name it--of the gates and entrances to the yard. The rabbit war continues, but so far this year, the garden is definitely winning.

I made a big pan of brownies before I went to work on the rabbit-proofing. When they were done baking, I boxed them up and mailed them to Graham. I should have just sent him the postage--he could have gotten himself an expensive meal. But it was fun to make a care package. Don't tell. It's a surprise! (The fancy dinner anyway)

I read that the Post Office may be next to get the ax. I say go for it, although in Rio Rico, we don't have many alternatives--really, none. I just think the PO is pricing itself out of business. Oh well. Better to order on line with free shipping (I started to put free shopping, I think that would be great too!) except for home made cookies.

I traded my neighbor whose yard looks like a tropical paradise, a bunch of empty plastic planters for a new grape vine and 3 tropical plants from Nayarit. I hope I can keep them alive! The grape vine is already planted and I actually made wells around both vines and a canal between them. Maybe this time I can keep two grape vines alive. We shall see.

I think the monsoon is here. The humidity certainly is.

Chao chao. All for now. Have a great day.

Chao chao. Have a good day all.
