On our walk we saw an interesting sight on this palm tree. We haven't noticed a new growth like this in the past.

October 10, 2017 - Had our first good rainstorm of the season last night. This is the damage it does to the driveways.
Site of Ralph. He continues to be taken apart and used for something good.

| Final resting place only a few yards from where he was dismantled |
Still watching the progress of the home with the blue windows. Would love to be able to go inside. Too bad they have a walled area around it.
We see the first belalchunga flowers of the season.

At the entrance gate of the Church some young boys were playing with their homemade cars. They have good imaginations and put them with a stick attached with a string.

In the parking lot of the small hyper psaro compound we saw this interesting set of palm trees. It is made from plastic water bottles. We need to come by at night and see what it looks like with the lights on.
Beautiful trees and flowers starting to bloom.
