The regrettable extreme overpopulation of the javalenas in our area is tragic and it is continuing.
Over 10 years ago when we expanded the Maid’s Suite Back to double its size, Builder Bill constructed this set of ‘temporary’ constructions steps as our only means of getting to that elevation.

Both inside and out, one minute it was late summer and then FALL FELL on us with colder temperatures alongside that glorious pre-winter sunshine. Joshua and Juan tackled pruning of the ash tree while a new spider woman moved in and the anemone virginianas appeared in all their glory.
