For about fifteen minutes I got to watch three woodpeckers pecking on our Cedar trees.
My phone couldn't get all three of them together plus I didn't dare move.

Devin said "looks like I work on semi-trucks!

 It needs A/C work...

Engine looks the same only bigger.

So since Gary decided to water our front yard it started raining after weeks of no rain.

This is how we wash our vehicles...move them out of the carport and into the rain😀

TGIF

Looks who's a safety patrolman...

It's hard to tell from this photo but this engine was leaning to the left as it was fixing to fall out. Owner waited too long to replace engine mounts. Neither Elvin or Devin had ever seen this before but had heard other tech's stories.

 Devin is taking home a rescue kitten...she is sleeping in his tool box.

We may not swim much anymore but we do love a clean pool. After weeks of working on clearing the water Gary finally succeeded! We aren't sure what the problem was as we have never had this happen before. All it took was time and money😀

Now our cucumber plants are experiencing this drooping issue on new growth...we haven't every had this problem before.

have a great week-end

 Devin working on a brake job...

Not sure what Elvin is up too...

Our seasonal helper...

Andrew works for UPS and sometimes helps us on his days off...
nice outfit

40 bags of mulch will be used by Andrew to spruce up the front of the shop.

 So...I shopped at Lucky's today cause Chris gave me a 20% off your total order coupon. One of my pet peeves is the automatic sprinklers they have in the veggie department.  I feel mold can grow there unless they really keep it clean; plus it makes me have to dry all the greens before storing them in the fridge as soon as I get home. Wards doesn't do that.😀

You have confirmation that you are getting old  when you start washing and reusing the plastic bags from the grocery store.

Dinner...

blurry salad cause i was half way done eating it

London broil, potatoes, pear and tomato salad

Wednesday

Looks like a road trip for Martha and me! In Martha's attempt to take in all the interesting sites in and near Alachua County she takes me along. She feels like I need to get out more!

Today we went to Two Tails Ranch in Williston.  The ranch is the only privately owned elephant facility of its kind. It was a very hot day and we had a blast!

We learned so much about Asian elephants and enjoyed the brash and sassy ranch owner's talk.

Years ago the ranch owner's children taught "Luke" how to paint...

You can purchase his paintings in the gift shop...

Feeding and riding the elephants are permitted for a fee.

There were many other animals on the ranch.
