One Year Later

    Saturday was the anniversary of the day we flew out to the Pacific for good.....   caused plenty of reflection & talk as we drove 55 miles to another small farm up the east coast where we got 4 more Toulouse Geese from a couple that hated to part with their pets, but they were eating the new watercress crops!!!!!   So the CGR has more waterfowl & they are adjusting well.....  our one prior Toulouse Goose however has NOT adopted to the new comers yet.....   fun to watch the dynamics!!!!
    But here's da' picture.....   one year since shipping out....  Bunkhouse & Hacienda fully running, the front ~2 acres cleared & fenced....   5 geese (as just discussed), 9 sheep working 3 different paddocks in front of  our house....  couple dozen chickens, couple dozen ducks, couple dozen rabbits & 2 very vocal parrots......   plenty more projects on the "to do" list but very happy with what's done.....

May 2013 Ranch Hands

April was lots of finish work & continued tiling... for a change of pace we also tackle other projects (clearing & fencing) around the ranch for all the "critters"!!

Our "punch list" of smaller finishing tasks is getting whittled down so we scheduled the house warming BBQ for 25 May.

Leslie is done tiling the master bath & is now installing a wall of glass blocks which is the last task.

Our dog "Buddie" has been making new friends around the ranch.... And runs loose most of the time.

We are our own city water department... there's now a 10,000 gallon water tank behind the Hacienda, with a pump, multi-stage filter system & UV sterilizer!

Our buffalo followed us around half the world, and finally has the best seat in the living room out here in the tropics!!!

The guest room is where we've hidden all the boxes we haven't unpacked yet. We should have that done by the 4th of July!!!!!
