Neighborhood

If you follow your heart in my backyard to the back fence you will meet my hairdresser or her husband who is sometimes doing yard work down on that part of their property.  Or their dogs or their beautiful daughters.  They are all so nice!

So, here is her little gem of a hair salon:

Meow.

On the topic of the winery and two homes, Andrea said she thinks they have both been sold.  At least that is what she heard.  We both still have a whole bunch of ideas for the winery.  Hers are all boutiquey and weddingly, mine are a little more community based- community garden/literacy center/farmer's market/coffee shop kind of idea.  I was outside with Irma and Mari today- Sergio's wife and daughter and they loved my idea.  

I'm glad I live on a street of dreamers.  

Property Update

I want to write more about the winery that has been vacant for a couple of years now.  I will do it after I talk to my neighbor Thursday night.  I am having a hard time finding links to the homes and the winery.

I'm keeping my last post the way it is because it makes me laugh.  Its really hard to write at night when you are falling asleep!

The winemaker was so odd, but interesting.  

My neighbor, Sergio, helped him at the end

when he didn't have any money left to buy

food or cigarettes.  I'm so lucky to have

nice, caring, helpful neighbors like Sergio.  

Some things I wonder:

Do the grapes have to stay?

Does it have to stay agriculture?  I think so, Chad, my brother-in-law, thought there might be zoning laws, etc., I think he is right.  He is pretty smart too.

Why does the family have all their junk out by the truck and have garage sales every weekend?

Can the homes be used for commercial purposes?

My brain is thinking a lot.  I just hope something positive comes out of this property.

Property

I think the soil is really good around my home.  Someone good needs to purchase the winery that is at the end of 15th Avenue in my little neighborhood area.  They can grow a whole bunch of yummy things! 

There are two home sold separately that belonged to the Winemaker and his mom. They are gone now, after being evicted.  They just sort of fell apart and didn't take care of the historic winery very well.

The winery is being sold separately by other family that still owns it.  I have heard from other neighbors that the wine making equipment is too messed up to even repair.  The property is nice thought and the historic buildings are interesting.  I will try and find real estate links tomorrow.

Our little neighborhood really wants something good to come from it.  On Thursday night I am going to the neighbor who lives above me to get my hair done.  She always has good ideas of what we;d like to see happen to the property.    She always has good ideas!

Here are my ideas:

Carrots

Here is our carrot harvest!

Cuties!

Morning Glory

The morning glory is doing pretty well in my yard! 

Last Tomato Harvest

I'm pretty pleased with the tomato harvest

this year.  I think it helped planting them

in four different areas!

A Closer Look

Here is a closer look at our Resident Black Widow's little nook.  I'll have to do something about it soon.

Maintaining

I'm doing my best to just maintain what is in my garden.

Escondido summers are hard on our yard.  

But I'm usually out there after dark watering the plants that 

I want to grow and survive.

This is just a dark picture that I didn't feel like turning around.

The morning glory is doing well on the fence.  I will post pictures another day!

Resident

We have a resident black widow that I keep

running into on these steps.  I'll just keep him/her

there for awhile.
