Again

We always seem to be in reno mode and nothing has changed down here.  It is a minor renovation to the yard, but it will keep us busy for a short time.

When we arrive in October, the weeds are out of control and it takes a lot of hard work to get our small yard back in shape.  We have decide to cement over every piece of bare soil that we can find, except for two small areas.

Rosemary is a perennial in Mexico and it can grow somewhat wild.  We planted some a few years ago and the plant is thriving so we have left that area untouched.  Any other plantings we do will be in pots.

Maggie is not herself so we have started her on baby aspirin to see if that helps.  We think she may have pain from arthritis, but are hoping she is just suffering from the heat and humidity that has settled into the area.  Keeping her wet down doesn't seem to work, though.

We will see how she feels after this weekend as the humidity is supposed to drop to 60% for a few days.  That should tell us more about her health.
