At the end of their vacation, niece Chrissie and Chris came for a couple of days. We lived on the porches, talking non-stop. Here daughter Lise poses with them.
A bit later, neighbor Shawn joined us.
I liked the perspective of this photo and the next. I took this as the neighborhood reporter. All the faces were showing as they played Logan’s game.
Meanwhile, Shawn stayed on the porch where we had both been sitting and captured this image. Her artist’s eye caught the warmth of the scene, with the candle outside and the people drawn together inside.
The next day Chris put the finishing touch on the waterfall. Last year my brother and I installed a new pump and hose to get the water flowing. Chris hooked the hose up to the splitter, so that water flowed into the two top pools. The sound was even better than before. He and Lise solved the leak problem where the last fall had a back flow. The next step is mine – to remove the weeds that exploded while I was spending time inside with relatives. The final step will be replacing surrounding stones to hide the edges of the pools.
