Have covered the bougs the last three nights with bed sheets. Ice Alert on the Oregon Weather Station. DB golfed in the 35' and I worked on the entrance. Have added gravel from the Lake Tam dumping area to the dead ocotillo patio. Rocks were removed for the rockery project. Made a path and staging area for fountain (?) Lots of tiny new leaves on all bougs!!!!!!!!! Loving the weather here.

Garden additions this week: two oleanders (liberated from small lake) and placed NE & SE; three fine green (liberated from lot opposite) and places NE; two palms (liberated from small lake) and placed E & SE. With the grasses transplanted last month from the entrance grass I'm trying to establish a planting area in the NE next to the palm and property line. The oleanders and palms are to provide color and oasis.
