New Patio Addition, 2011
New patio addition
Robin and I built this, well, mostly Robin...
Built in bench follows curve
We have lots of room out here and can barbeque in the rain, too.
Front of house
Robin wants to add a similar structure on the right side for parking cars.
Plants will be along side
I'm going to put in flowers behind bench
Sure changed the looks of the place!
This goes into the garage. Sand will eventually be covered in grass.
Better view up close
Note Robin's hammock on the side. I have a hammock chair to dangle in and read. He put in a hook for me out by the far corner.

Travis insists on hamming it up in photos. 2010-12-26
Final preparations before the feast
Since they're vegetarians, we brought the turkey and Skip brought the ham, encrusted with crushed gingersnaps. Delish! 2010-12-26
Miette and Burrito

They seem to be friends since she was just licking Burrito and her antlers.
Mr. Robin
One of the best pictures I've got of him now. 2010-12-26

It was very nice to be able to spend a little time with them this way. 2010-12-26

The first time we've been able to get pictures like this. 2010-12-26
All of us.

This one is in our yard. I never knew they bloomed like this. Like a bird of paradise. 2010-12-27

Bees were all over this one. 2010-12-27
Guineas on patrol...
They wander around the yard like this eating bugs all day. 2010-12-27
Statuette at DuPlooy
I took Gary, Wanda, and Miette to the Botanical Gardens one day. It was a lovely day but not many flowers blooming.
Malay or Bell Apple Tree Blossoms
I can't remember which direction I took this photo! But it was gorgeous anyway. The bell apple is sold in market. It is more like a pear than an apple. 2010-12-27
Just fantastic!
I have a small tree like this but I never knew it bloomed this way! The highlight of the day for me. 2010-12-27
Sausage tree
Don't know much about this tree, but the strange fruit was the size of a Hickory Farms summer sausage and heavy, too. Sure wouldn't one to fall on my head. The free was full of them. 2010-12-27
Gout plant
I want one of these strange looking plants, but couldn't find anyone in the nursery to sell me one. I'll just have to go back another day. Ahh, shucks! :) 2010-12-27
Mot mot
This bird was sitting near the deck where we were eating, but I could not get a good shot in focus for some reason. Pretty bird anyway and notice the funny tail. 2010-12-28
Mot mot
It was a cold day - 76 degrees according to Wanda's thermometer. Poor bird was all hunkered down! 2010-12-28
Toucanette and squirrel
at feeder on deck. Bird kept chasing the squirrel away from the watermelon. 2010-12-28
Pincushion cupcakes
Thank you, Cheryl H. for the fun kits! They were interesting to make, a bit of a challenge, too, because they're the size of a real cupcake, small and my fingers are large. 2010-12-31

Checking it out
Robin looking over their pretty falls and wishing we had some like that.
private bliss
More of their place.
Office Upstairs
Workshop downstairs.
Screened in Kitchen
A small kitchen is screened in on bottom floor which floods out in heavy rains and is designed to drain and clean easily. Very comfortable.
Crystal Reye Falls
A great place to spend a hot afternoon!
Jump!!
The only way in is to JUMP!
Once you're in..
Tree roots creep down wall in grotto.
Hidden Cave
Underneath Edson is a cave hidden behind the falls. Doug was brave enough to swim back to it.
Robin coming in
Crossing the slippery slopes.
Ghost??
