Lizzie, Megan, and Zab arrived this weekend for Lizzie's baptism along with big news! Lizzie now six months old was wearing a shirt with the words, "big Sister." Yes, there will be a new grandchild in May! Here's a picture:
The ravages of time had brought the right end of the log bridge into the stream. Then all sorts of logs, sticks, and other debris collected due to storms and rushing water. (You can see it in the March 5 video posted below.) About a week ago I cleared a lot of the sticks, logs, and debris. Yesterday with the almost super human strength of Z.H. the end of the bridge is up on the bank where water cannot reach. The squirrels who use this bridge are cheering! Thanks, Zab!!
Here's the view through a large hollow log that the storms brought to our shore.
From February 10 to the 20th we were away. We spent two days in beautiful San Diego and then cruised with Holland America along the "Mexican Riviera" on the m/s Oosterdam - all in all, it was a fine time. Above is the Oosterdam as seen from our San Diego hotel balcony. I will try to have a link for more pictures one of these days.
