Sunset out the window.
We have no less than four avocados growing in our yard. Avocados take almost two years to grow, so we hope some more get started this summer.
I recently spent an afternoon taking macro-pictures of the bees that hang out in the lavender growing next to the skatepond.


Speaking of skatepond, I've also recently been doing some patching and hope to get it repainted this spring. This photo shows 5 different paint layers! From bottom to top: red, light green, olive green, then 2 separate coats of the blue.I think we are going to repaint it with the same blue and yellow.
And, finally, a portrait of Snickers with her all time favorite thing in the whole world, the Fishy Toy. Snickers is pretty much fully grown now but still looks and acts like a kitten.
