A work day here

We decided to have a work day here. Foxy took on the job of defrosting Arthur's refrigerator and his freezer. Both really needed the attention. The freezer especially needed to have all of the built up ice removed. She had her work cut out for her but persisted until both were cleaned and rearranged nicely.

In the meantime I went to work trimming bushes and several trees and then weed whacking, which I got good at while at Guadalupe RV, and finally mowing the front lawn.

By the time we finished our jobs, we were both tired out and in need of showers, and the dirty clothes headed for the washing machine. But the reward was clean appliances and more headway on the yard.

Not a particularly fun day but necessary in our continuing efforts to help Arthur. He has been in Los Angeles this week helping out his brother. We expect him back on Monday and look forward to good news about his brother's condition, knowing it might be otherwise.

The weather has been lovely and very much a gorgeous fall season here. Nights are crisp, and most days sunny. It is supposed to be rainy tomorrow, which is why we did the work day when we did. We think that very soon we will take a brief vacation to Victoria which is on Vancouver Island just west of here. The Buchart Gardens are located there and are spectacular. They have been developed in a vacant stone quarry. We visited the gardens several years ago and hope to get back one more time before we leave this part of the country. Happy travels.
