Here are a couple of 'nosey' neighbors. Only the first caption reveals a neighbor who is also often noisy. I have taken their lead as of late to remain mindful of what is on the ground about my feet. Partly so that I can keep the floors in the house cleaner! Which is why Gregg and Carla always wear um boots, "Welly's", or crocs so that the fertilizers stay outside helping the apples to grow.
It had been a rainy few days, with the result that once the weather broke there were a lot of rainbows, for me I set a personal record of seeing seven in two days, mostly while traveling along the coast by train. This one was just when I got off the train in Waikanae. You may be able to see the second bow that did not quite make it into fullness before the rainbow was gone.
Gregg finished the last coat of urethane on the marae, it is a big room, 1250square feet, the largest I have ever sanded. It was also in the worst shape with decades of chemical spills, hard wear with very significant gouging and cupping. Gregg did a great job of repairing the many holes in the floor, mostly from the pipe chases that supplied the various fluids and gases needed when it was a school chemistry lab. Now Gregg and Carla will decide what goes back in.
The garden continues to go strong, especially with all the rain lately. Everey night I get to pick the freshest salad greens, and always include several nasturtium blossoms.
This is the flower of the ice plant, prevalent along the seashore here. below is the floor frame Gregg and Tony put together last week for Cathy Tracy's new home. Occasionally I get to pitch in, and I will probably get to do a lot with gluing and screwing the plywood deck in place today (Sunday). We are hoping for some sunshine to dry out the framing a bit.
