Pics of the New House

Finally, an update and finally, pictures of the new site and house. I
still need to run the water pipe, hook up the sink, put on some
flashing to block out the rain and get the garden going, but the fence
is up, lots of trees are planted, and I am getting settled in well.
It took us 3 weeks from actually cutting down the trees until the
walls were up and I moved in. Check out the pics at

Things have been busy, mostly finishing the house, but also working
some bees every now and then. People are harvesting some honey now so
that is always fun to see. Fall is here so that means the worst of
the miserable heat is over hopefully and gardening season is rapidly
approaching.
I am in the capital now for the weekend working on our newsletter
publication. There is talk of some of the other Volunteers in my
beekeeping group getting together and going salsa dancing tonight. I
don't know how to salsa dance but I've heard it basically involves you
trying to step on your partner's toes and they reciprocating and doing
the same to you. Step forward, step backwards. Over and over and
over again. Sounds riveting. It's a wonder why I don't care for
dancing.
Other than that, not much else is new. I have a new niece, Naomi Beth
and sounds like she is great. Can't wait to meet her! Also, to
answer the approximately 78 inquiries I received, No we did not feel
the earthquake that occurred in Chile. Heard a health care bill
passed back home. Hope people aren't killing each other over it
already. So in the words of Red Green, "until next time, keep your
stick on the ice."
