New Trees

Yesterday, we bought a peach tree and a plum tree. We put them on the wasteland next to our back driveway.

Last summer, I put in sprinklers planning on putting trees there and finally we put trees there. Today, we put a brick border along the driveway, planted small shrubs, and of course the chicken fence to protect our investment.

In the future we plan to put a small brick patio at the end for a potted plant.

Skiing Kirkwood

Last weekend, friends of our invited us to spend the weekend at their ski house at Kirkwood. They have two kids that are friends of mine. We drove up friday and skied saturday, Sunday and Monday, then drove back monday.

We mostly skied blues and blacks (diamonds). We could also walk from the apartment directly to the lifts (what a concept). Sunday was the biggest ski day at Kirkwood. It was reported that over 7,000 people were on the slopes that day. That day, there were also many power outages for the Kirkwood valley. One time, we were waiting on the chair lift for 15 minutes.

Each day after skiing, we played hide and go seek, in the entire hotel.

On Sunday, we ate dinner at the Kirkwood inn. Then, on Monday we explored a small cave in a ditch, then drove all the back.
