Winter Garden

 So I started by taking out the old strawberries and replacing them with the new ones.

 All the plants out.

 The new ones in.

 Left-overs.

 All these new starts are from the pots. One plant had 32 new starts.

 The beets

The onions were planted last Thursday; had one up in a week. Friday had five up.

Do they really know us?

When mom came home the other day these were on the porch.  Either someone does not know what grows around this house or they are playing the Idaho story of just trying to get rid of their zucchini..

Who's babysitting who?

 Couldn't resist sharing these of Mom and Michael keeping a closed eye on each other!!!

Our Tiny Visitor

 Last week when I was watering this hummingbird just came and kind of hung out for quite a while, which is real unusual.

 Then Sunday here it was again and stayed out front in 2 different trees for a good 15 minutes; not sure if it's the same one but was fun to watch.

Happy Birthday

 Here I am with Grandpa Mike at 1 week old.

Anacapa Island

 So we took our trip to Anacapa Islands today; this is heading out of C.I. harbor

 Approaching the island: the arch

 the light house

 Some different shots from some of the sights we saw while there.

 Sea Lions

Loading up to head back to Oxnard.

Grapes

 So last year we had one bunch of grapes on the vines; they did not mature into anything though. This year we actually had three bunches. I still need to learn how to handle them cause they seemed small so I hadn't picked them and two of them shriveled up.

 Picked the last bunch and even though they were small they still tasted pretty good.

New Place

Seems like someone else took a liking to my John Deeres; the cat's newest sleeping place.
