Where Are We Today

"The Ridge"

Here we are, at The Ridge, in day five of self isolation, no better place to be as we can go outside with no fear of coming into contact with anyone.

Being able to do that is allowing us to open up all the sheds and start to get some things out for the season.

We have motion sensor solar lights that are mounted on "the Bunkie", "the Restroom" and "the Hangar" that I put away for the winter and have now reinstalled.

 Our Canadian Flag and our wind socks are back up, blowing in the breeze. The mailbox that we purchased and had painted in Los Algodones , Mexico, was put up at the end of the lane to receive our mail.

Last fall, Rob welded new screens into the frames of our fire pit for us, so I reinstalled them with nuts and bolts that I was fortunate to have along with a set of hinges that I had kept from an old cupboard.

I even opened up my cargo trailer to find that my airplanes had survived their winter hibernation. When warmer weather arrives, I want to paint the inside of the trailer with paint left over from the inside colors of "the Hangar". Since re configuring the inside to accommodate the 15 foot Telemaster, I thought a change in color is due, away from the grey that it is now.

When we arrived here last Saturday, we found one of our small trees had a broken branch. In an attempt  to try and save it, I have stood it back up and put tie wraps and a cargo strap to hold it in place. When we can get some fertilizer for trees, I will see if I can spray the broken area and wrap it.  We can only hope as it warms up and the sap starts to run, that it might heal its self, time will tell

As weather permits we will gradually get more seasonal items out and set up, along with other projects to accomplish. Hope you stay tune to either here or Patsy's Blog to see what we are up to.

Until the next time, take care and keep up the physical distancing with hopes and prayers that this soon will pass and we can once again be together.
