After an entire week of rain - pretty much continuous rain - today we got sun - a few light showers and cloud on the mountain - but sun - I sat out by the pool and read - I think I got burnt! The sky is still overcast a lot, but it is clear to the ocean and warmer (27C).
Seem to have lost yesterday and today - internet, movies, reading - Lisle went to the Pharmacy to get antibiotics for his bites - - really not pretty!
Yesterday discovered that the fountain (water feature as Christian prefers to call it) is actually a maternity ward! Many, many, many little gel eggs (frogs I think). Christian said that is normal - they'll clean them out when they do maintenance - OMG - BABY KILLERS!
And then there is the BIG FUZZY BLACK caterpillar that seems to be making a cocoon in the tarp covering the outdoor shower (waiting for dry weather to repaint it) - Christian said - OMG DON'T TOUCH IT!!!! Apparently they are cute, so they have some kind of alkyd on their fuzz that can make you very ill.
Friday at Dean and Michelle's was great fun - all the neighbours were there and we had a fabulous pot luck. Best was meeting Michelle's daughter Emily and her companions - they have been volunteering in San Ramon (teaching, building, etc) and they get to travel on the weekends - I spoke with Gary who is 21 from Colorado - just finished his degree in Mathematics and it going to start his Phd in September - he wants to work in Finance (mergers and acquisitions, venture capital etc) and has 5 more years of school - he came to live with a family, brush up on his spanish, volunteer and have a bit of an adventure!
Dean and Michelle headed home today - maybe we'll see them in the winter - sad to see friends leave!
