Old men rules...

 

Today is going to be a great day. Ploughing started late yesterday afternoon, continuing today.

 

What is going to be planted there?

 

Squash - no sprays or irrigation required, which is perfect for us as we want to keep the land as "clean" as possible. The lease income isn't exactly a goldmine but it covers the cost of maintenance for the fences etc. We're still deciding what we want to do long-term with the land. No rush.

 

I had a delightful day at Huntington Beach, California. It was a little bit chilly so I had shorts on with a fleece jacket but when I get home on Monday it's going to be way colder than freezing with about 5 inches of snow on the ground so this is really nice. Right now in southern California I have, what I call "the sucker" on to pull in the air from outside without having to turn on the AC. It's currently 63° outside at 12:23 a.m. on Thursday morning. I will suck up this weather up until I fly home on Monday and freeze off the balls I don't have.








^10-21-2020. That's me with my ex-boyfriend, Ricky. We get along really well now that he doesn't live in my home. I get to enjoy him for who he is without having to be pissed off by who he isn't.

 

A bit shocked to see him, but your reasoning makes sense.

 

Yeah I'm a little surprised at myself but I go with what works and we get along. I have friends that are not consistent. Ricky and I are consistent and I understand his short failings and I know I'm not perfect so without having to be lovers or married we are definitely friends. It is really nice to have a friend that understands you and loves you the way you are and that works for both of us.


I I was on my way home I realized I was going right by his mother's home so I s stopped there and arrived before he did. She's a love. I was very happy to visit with her and him for close to 2 hours before I finally headed home.

 

Beautiful land, Hertz. Is that some sort of barrier wall on the left? Purpose? Just curious. I've always had a distant love affair with New Zealand and follow the All Blacks.

 

Thanks, we are grateful every day to be in such a wonderful place.

If you're referring to the green and brown streak, it's a shelter belt hedge made up of tightly-planted cypress conifers, they're common here as a means of stopping orchard spray drift. That one is about a quarter mile away at its closest point so any spray that gets past it dissipates before it reaches us - the green field just this side of the shelter belt is the neighbor's land, while the brown part is ours.

 

Thanks -- yes that is what made me curious. You certainly do live in a wonderful place.
