BEACH STEPS AGAIN

The stairs to the beach that collapsed this winter have not been fixed. However, the powers that be here did make a common sense decision and direct swimmers to use the stairs that are near our house that formerly went to nowhere. Now they cross a ditch with two sturdy logs and along with a little weed whacking, the problem is solved-temporarily. The scenery along the way is actually quite nice too. But even some of these steps are damaged from our strange rains this winter and spring.
The tennis court is also being refurbished and all of the fake astro turf is off. In fact, we can carpet our lawn with fake grass if we wanted, no watering needed. Several folks did take advantage of the offer. Really, a lawn with grass is so impractical here that I am surprised the whole pile was not carried away by these summer home owners. Toto’s boys have a piece near our property line and they lay on it and play Monopoly with friends whiling away the long hot summer afternoons. The sunflowers sure like this weather!
