So if you've been reading my
blog over the years, you’ll know that I've had some battles at home in Grand Forks Yuma
Anyway, I made up a pot of
beautiful purple petunias to set on the front patio and they were thriving in
the warm sunshine. I was waiting until
they were in full bloom before taking any photos to post on the blog to cheer
those of you suffering through the snowy and stormy winter. Then a couple of days ago, I looked out in
the morning and saw that all the blossoms were gone. What was going on? Sure enough, the little rabbits that hang out
here in resort had found my flowers and eaten all the blossoms and chewed most
of the leaves. Here’s what they left:
Now I put the pot up on a
table each night and hope that the plants recover. No one else’s flower pots appear to be
affected— I am sure it is a conspiracy against me!!
Our lives are settling into
a routine now where we are playing pickleball on a regular basis and are seeing
more friends from last year each time we go out to play. We’re also playing golf once a week and the
new clubs are working well. Yesterday,
we were out by ourselves (it was US Thanksgiving so not very busy) and had a
great time. The courses will get busier
in the next few months as more winter visitors arrive.
One tradition that we’ve
established when living in the RV is to listen to audio books while we eat
supper. We’ve listened to about 5 books in
the past year or so, with the latest one being Robinson Crusoe. It’s one of those stories that many people
don’t know very well other than a guy gets shipwrecked and has a faithful
servant named Friday. It’s full of
adventure and interesting personal revelations as Robinson learns to live
independently on his island for over 27 years.
He fared much better than Tom Hanks in Castaway! And Friday had much
more personality than Wilson
