Last week, Rachel's dad came into town for a visit. Of course, with dads, there is always physical labor to be done (despite Rachel's insistence that he relax). So, we removed the framing for the Arizona room, removed the rest of the lantanas and the original dog fencing around the east side of the house. The way the original screened porch was set up cut across the planters that wrapped around the house. We are going to see if there is another way to do it. All done. And yes, that's a toilet for the half bath that is hanging out on the patio. Our happy grapefruit tree in full bloom. This tree had been neglected for a while, and as soon as we closed on the house, Nathan went to work feeding and watering it to see if it would come back, and for the most part, it has. The smell off of this tree is heavy and intoxicating - you can smell it when you pull up to the house. Just about done back here, for now. We have not decided what else (aside from a dog run) to do with this space. Any ideas?
