A 6-month DIY project of installing pavers in between our new home addition and the garage comes to a finish last weekend. Still a few more minor things to add but good timing before the rainy season.

I dropped by ballot off yesterday. I voted #YesOn50. I understand this is a slippery slope but currently the typical rules are no longer being followed. So we need to do something now.

Finally got some garden time. I’m working on transitioning my crops from summer to cool weather. Plus, reset and refresh the beds. I’m concerned there’s tree root invasion and how much extra work and time it is going to take to investigate and fix.

I’m not sure what happened but my #threads account has been disabled. But my IG account is fine. I’m unable to go back and try to understand, so that’s that. Lost my entries of logging our home year long renovations.

Brought the fiddle leaf tree back over and placed it in this corner and it’s really brought life and coziness here.
