Well I did it.  I accomplished the Project.  I earned this break between gigs!

Avdi came home to a clean house and pool (I vacuumed/treated it once again) and Y’s spaces ready to furnish.  There was a somewhat flooded yard that receded and didn’t become a problem.  The only thing I couldn’t deal with was the veg jungle, other than harvesting lots of tomatoes and cucumbers, even a gourd, because of the extreme heat.  It will still be there for me if it ever goes below boiling hell setting.

Other than all that, holding down the camp was very relaxing.  I slept enough and binge-watched my shows.  The final day (yesterday) Akasha came over again.  We talked and talked, and she ordered in some outstanding Ethiopian food, including tiramisu just for me!  We checked out the garden, and I gave her collards and cucumbers.  She has become a great friend.  She may be able to move closer, right near MOBOT, which is exciting.

This little bunny is always outside near the shed helping mow the lawn.  I greet her/him and they just keep on grazing.  Akasha noticed this young monarch caterpillar on the milkweed where the one butterfly is always hanging out.  The garden has become a real native wildlife haven and flower surround, with some help from me and my “evil plan”.  Mission in progress.

Now I’m between campouts, until Avdi and Jess leave for a conference in Denver in a few days.  K is now home, and I’ll repeat the routine, hopefully making a stab at the jungle, weather permitting.
