My Helper

 The other day I was clearing out the flower bed; when I was almost finished someone in a tutu and hat showed up and started sweeping.
 Then she did some cultivating. Then found her curled up with a couple of good'ole John Deeres taking a nap.

The New Overpass

 On Saturday the 7th after hitting up the garage sales in Camarrilo we parked the truck and rode our bikes out to and over the new overpass at Spanish Hills and back to the truck. Top picture looking south...bottom looking North.

The Family Picture

 When Jeff's wedding picture went up on the wall above the fireplace he thought it was going to be around for a few years before another wedding came about. When he came over Sunday he had a surprise; it had been replaced.  But, Jeff, the good news is, it's a different frame so your picture it still hanging around.


Shipping Season

 Mom's favorite place to ride from home is to the Hueneme Pier; we have been making the trip  a lot. One day, the first of last week, we saw this ship way out waiting to come in.  As I zoomed in it looks like containers of bananas.
 Then at the end of the week when we walked to the light house, this ship was unloading.  (They are different if you look at the cranes and containers.)
 This was two rows they stacked up at the pier.
Then today we saw this ship unloading; that's a whole lot of bananas. Joe, if you notice that front V-shaped structure, is mounted to the ship; that's one big plow.

Snow at the Beach


On Friday, the 6th, we rode our bikes to Oxnard Shores by 5th Street.  The waves were fairly high and it was leaving this suds on the beach. Then the wind was blowing them across the sand, about as close to snow as we are going to see here. (It was cool to watch especialy cause I was in shirt sleeves and not a heavy coat.)

Trips to the Beach

 With tempetures in the 80's for the first part of the week we made three trips to the Hueneme Pier. Our shadows on the pier.
 Mom checking out the view while Dad caught his breath.
 Friday afternoon we rode over the Channel Islands bridge and then rode along thru the beach houses till we got to the 5th Street beach.
