Not
much happening today. We drove by Penny’s house and saw not much in the way of
them moving yet. They are supposed to be
out by the end of today. She is talking with Aimee, who is in contact with his
realtor and they are supposed to be on track. We’ll see… I worked on cleaning
up my grapevines today. Walt planted
blueberries plants, apple trees, and grapevines seriously close together. The grapevines are growing up into the apple
trees and hooking on to them with their vines.
I’m not sure if that will affect both fruits but I thinned out ½ of them
so we’ll see in September when the grapes ripen. We’re still waiting on the
apples, which we still don’t know what species they are, to ripen. Lydia talked with a fellow at the local farmer's market last week and he says to bring one in and maybe he can help.

Busy day today! Kirk is coming with more plants! He showed up about 10:00am with a young
fellow to help him today. He had another
truckload of plants. I asked him to park
in front of our garage because Rick and Janie were due in anytime. He unloaded and got to work. Today they moved our large lavender bush from
the back of the house to the side. We
want to develop the back yard and have a plan in place for the patio cover and
two gazebos and the lavender was in the way.
Kirk and Lydia got all of today’s plants layed out and he and Caleb
started in. Meanwhile, Rick and Janie
pulled up. He unhooked his tow car and I
backed him in place and got water and power to their coach. He got his satellite dish up and going and
the air going for the dogs and then we gave them the big tour.
I’m not sure how
they saw all of the property but they looked amazed. I am still amazed too! But we are starting to
get things under control at least what we want to accomplish. The yard is starting to look good and will
get even better when Kirk gets the mulch in.
The sprinkler guy is due this week to start on phase one of three to get
things fixed and added to. We hung
around and visited with Rick & Janie a bit and then set out to show them
the town and then go have linner. We
drove by Penny’s house. Looks like a
different car is there now so she’s hoping that it’s the owner and he’s
starting to get his agreed work done before close of escrow next Monday. We drove through our ‘old town’ and then went
over to Corvallis to The Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was good once we
finally got seated. We got back home and I watered the new plants
and we sat
out on the front porch and had wine and relaxed until we came in to watch our
tape of America’s Got Talent before calling it a night.
