Spring cleaning and the tree that keeps on giving...

It's been a quiet week... no animal tracks, no interesting animal sightings, just the regular tending to our trout business. We've been experiencing "little summer" for the last week and the rains have subsided considerably. The sun has been shining most of the day, lately. Really lovely. We've spent the last few days doing some spring cleaning. We opened up all the windows and French doors to create a cross-breeze. I took everything out of the cupboards, washed all the dishes, the pots and pans, and got rid of any canned goods that were passed their expiry date. Kevin spent a few days reorganizing his tools in the garage. Good job done. 

As I walk Frankie up to the gate three times a day (if she had her way, she's lounge on the couch all day long), I pass by the avocado trees. I noticed quite a few avocados were ready to pick... here is today's harvest... 100% organic and so delicious! We try to remember not to take our abundance for granted. We feel very lucky.
