Living

with Jim and Gayle

April, 2024

The A/C company had to come out a third time to try to repair the leak in the roof.  We didn't have time to leak test it before leaving, but hopefully they got it fixed this time.


The desert was in bloom this month.  Our lot had a lot of color.


SpaceX launch was pretty cool to see.


We spent an enjoyable couple of hours touring the Coachella Valley Historical Museum.  Our docent has lived in the valley all of his life so he had interesting stories.


Since we returned to Richland, we have been busy with yard work.  We thatched the yard (didn't get a picture so this is Jim afterwards repairing the weed eater).


I expanded my garden.  I had to sift and move river rock that was there since I decided to plant in the ground rather than use more garden bags.  I had to conscript Jim into helping me as it ended up being a rather large task getting the river rock out.


Jim redid the irrigation system so I have a lot of options for water.  My garden is now ready to be planted.  We just need the weather to warm up.


The crazy killdeer were back.  They laid 4 eggs.  Three hatched.  If you look closely, you can see two babies and the egg that didn't hatch.  As soon as the three babies were up, they all left.
