We did go up to the land Wednesday afternoon, and the first thing we did was look for the yellow stake. Andy could see it with his naked eyes but to him it looked white, not yellow. As predicted, I needed the binoculars and for me the light was just right. Wow! The yellow did stand out.
I took a picture of it using the zoom on my camera and could clearly see it. Unfortunately I had to lower the resolution to put it here on the web.
It shows up better in the cropped picture.
After we ate we went down to see the daffodils that Torben gave Andy a couple of years ago. They’re in full bloom and were spectacular. Unfortunately it was starting to get dark so the camera didn’t do them justice.
We came back a different way — one that no one had taken in the past few days — so there was a tree across the road. No problem. Andy never goes up there without a chain saw.
It was a fun, eventful evening.
I envy the two of you.
Yes, this is a great time of life for us.
an amazing man is your andy!
i’m so glad you got to go while the daffodils are still blooming.
and…
I love jesse stone! and agree… the dog steals the show.
there is great beauty in those shows. the underplayed acting of selleck.
and the breathtaking location itself.
they’re wonderful! so glad you’re enjoying them too. xo
They just blow me away. And I wouldn’t have started watching them if it hadn’t been for Magnum. 🙂
great trip, with a bit of fun (firing up a gadget) for Andy…and a good chance to see Andy is still being safe, something you could worry about from time to time, something like another set of eyes on the person/job…
I don’t worry about Andy. He tries to be sensible, and accidents can happen anywhere. One gal, Andy’s age, from my Silver sneakers class was driving in Santa Fe when a speeder ran a red light and totaled her car. She woke up in the hospital with two broken knees and other bones and is still recovering. That was months ago. It’s sad.
oh I realise accidents happen when you least expect them to…but it always good if someone else “runs an eye over you/them/other” because what you somehow get used to – may be actually something waiting to happen
we were talking a bit about this last night when I was saying that this new place had no damp and that the other place apparently did but I hardly noticed it because it was “just there” – but family/friends commented as soon as I came here “no damp”…
That’s a good point.
