Rover

This chap has not moved an inch over the last three and a half years we have been on this coastline, probably needs a bit of WD40 to get those wheels rolling again. Located on our walk down from Reed Road, through Vista Ridge to Marine drive.

Vista Ridge

We seem to extract great pleasure from other peoples projects, Vista Ridge is one of them and the first three houses have been built there. They have this sort of view which is a bit sordid, but I suppose someone has to put up with it.

Three Coyote Day

We had an across the world Skype session with the sister-in-law and her hubby, a few minutes before we were looking out of the window at our modified view and Karen spotted a couple of coyotes run past, we raced to the back of the house and saw three young, healthy looking, coyotes race through the back yard, closely followed by a local dog in pursuit.

No pictures as they were so quick, so here is a young eagle we spotted at Vista Ridge on our walk to the pub this afternoon.

The Man Cometh

I was off foraging for stuff at the charity shops this morning and I missed the man, he cometh and he taketh away the four trees that were interfering with the hydro pole. Well, he didn't taketh everything away, he leaveth a big pile of firewood for nexteth wintereth.

I admit, I liked them better as trees, but hey, it was the man.

Day One

We will officially call this day one in the project across the road, there have been comings and goings but today the man, along with his spirit level, spent three hours putting up the sign.

It looks like the project is going to be undertaken by Wakefield Homes, a respected builder on the coastline.

Signs of Life

There are buds and sprouts everywhere in the garden, we have grown tired of the winter and it seems that it knows it has overstayed it's welcome.
