The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou wants this to be a couch potato day ... do nuthin' and just hang around the house and watch a movie or two. Unfortunately, Gary had a rock slide in the pond yesterday ... and Gary wants to plant the two Butterfly Bushes ... first the bushes ... then he'll probably take a dive into the pond to restore the rocks which constituted the north-west wall, (next to the waterfall). Gary has to roast some beans ... he only has enough for one more small carafe of coffee. If Max and Mike come over after our walk, it will be fini for the cafe. So maybe a movie in the patio while Gary roasts away.

Finally it's Spring up here and the outside temperature is within the operating range of my specifications. This makes my wife very happy.

75F presently. Mary Lou, Maggie, Max and Gary have returned from out walk. Mike, (Max’s human), will be visiting his daughter is Los Angeles and we are hosting Max for the day. We’re all, sans Mary Lou, are in the patio, arms with coffee, newspaper, a nice Pacific breeze and listening to KUSC.

Very nice temperature range this week: upper fifties to mid sixties for the highs, high fourties to low fifties for the lows; widows are open. I could take this year-round.

The waterfall is rebuilt. Maggie and Max are napping the afternoon away. About 80F with 22% humidity, a beautiful summeresque day. Quite, a lovely day, now that Gary’s major task of the day is completed. About two hours of wading to rebuild the waterfall, plus a lot of plant trimming from the water. Mary Lou spent the afternoon in the yard also, trimming here and there. She picked a ton of Sweet Peas and gave half to our neighbor and the remaining half is above the kitchen sink. We ae now ready to be couch potatoes, in the patio, drinking our Dr. Peppers and discussing what movie to watch.

Taking a quick inventory of the deciduous trees, all are popping except the Silk tree. There are new buds on the plum, the Waterfall Maple, the Japanese Maple, the Persimmon ... the Silk Tree is always the last to pop.

I hope y'all have a great (as possible) Monday after a great Sunday night.
I had a snippet of a dream the floor machine quit in the middle of the store.
I really hope that one doesn't come true...

OK who pinched the blue skies, it has gone very hazy and white now.

We got in yesterday ahead of the rain. 58 here this morning with gray sky's. Rained most of the night, or should say poured. They don't expect temperatures to rise above 70 for most of the week, with rain likely every day. I really wish I would have mowed before we left last week, as it's grown up bad now.

Hi Hosers! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Had a Softball scrimmage game yesterday. The new team looks good. It was perfect softball weather. Blue cloudless skies, temps in the high 50’s/low 60’s with just a hint of breeze. It was so nice to be outside without freezing our butts off, we could’ve stayed out there all day and no one would have complained.

Have not taken a ton of pics lately, other than the cloudy day realtor shoot. I may post a few more of those later for critique. They could definitely have been better

Happy Monday!

OH goodie the sun has come back out, so off to try and get a nice shot of the windmill and church.

@Fujidave last week we were staying at a place with some great landscape photo opps. I had the best of intentions each day, setting my alarm, to get up before daylight and get out to those locations as the sun came up, and each day the alarm mysteriously got turned off.
