Weekend with the Parents

My parents came this weekend for a "working" visit - they claim all in the interest of their two grandchildren soon to be arriving. (This is not exactly true as they've helped us do a million projects on our house way before grand kids were on the horizon - they're just over-the-top excited.) My dad and G finished a long awaited project of putting up a trellis so we could enjoy some lavendar trumpet vines rather than our neighbor's perpetually dead lawn. It gave our front yard an instant face lift. Thanks for helping, Dad!




















































*Note the ingenious way they avoided cutting off a major orange tree limb and letting it seemingly grow through the trellis.






















Meanwhile my mom made herself useful cleaning my kitchen sink, sweeping the porch, raking leaves, and making homemade tangerine juice. Thanks, Mom! Can't wait till you come stay with us after the boys arrive! :)

































Clemie took on the job as project manager so I was left with "food-maker and picture taker" although there are no pictures to prove this.
