2018 is the year of Moving
This meant lots of packing, making 2 trips to Whidbey Island, and most importantly going to my daughter Julie's wedding! Unfortunately no pictures can be posted as the ones I need are saved under my personal email and not the Popeye Express account - bummer. So, on to 2019!

The front of our property where we've planted 18 or so Rhododendrons
Eventually we hope to have Rhododies planted throughout our acreage!
The never-ending pile continues to grow.

The order of Heaven - I can smell these blossoms from 100 feet or more away - heavenly!

June & Land clearing
It's time for Bob to get serious about clearing the land. We want to make a park like setting out of it, so all the underbrush has to go. 5 acres is a lot of land to clear, but Bob and his tractor (AKA the Orange Beast) are up to the job!
