Megan's visit

Megan came to stay with me for a few days last week and we had a great time. She did a full report on her blog. I will just do a quick recap. We did a hike over by the hot springs that was pretty steep. It was a beautiful day and after we went and had a nice soak in the hot springs. I took Megan to Gen-X, an interesting clothing store specializing mainly catering to the Mexican population. She was loving this 3X shirt featuring and unsolicited advertisement for the "Air Force".

This is kind of a side note...this HUGE jumping spider had been living in the railing outside my door. He is on a 2 inch pipe in this picture. There have been wasps all over my yard trying to secure a nest location, and they keep trying to build one in his pipe. He seems to be afraid of them, and I think he may have been run off because I haven't seen him for a few days.


My lawn was getting out of control, and I had never mowed a lawn. Neither had Megan actually, but we teamworked it up and borrowed my neighbor's mower and powered through my jungle. It was quite satisfying to have an instant yard.

Megan's first attempt at batik, she did great! Here is the orchid on the front bottom corner:

Megan, Ashlee and I finally all got together at the same time and it was wonderful. It's so nice when everyone just clicks!
