Aven bonded with everyone

Thanksgiving

It started small since Mom was going to be with friends and Katt and James were doing their own family thing... but it grew.  Serin's friends, my students, my student's family...

It was fun

Bees!

There were 3 or 4 bee swarms this year.  Finally caught one.

Sprouts!

Eggs! Beautiful eggs

Officially at the market!

Garden Developments

I finally got the trees I wanted for the patio

It was a serious challenge to get them in place.  We discussed at the nursery how they would pot them in place, but that didn't happen. Oh so heavy.

Pretty though

Other garden growth

The semi restored area down the cliff

Pretty flowers

Puppy relations

Life is good

Interesting house stuff

This spider caught a fly right on the kitchen basket.  Look close if you need to, it's an amazing picture

I always find it amusing when Rin does this.  Waiting in line for morning water.  Gus seriously takes forever.
