Springtime in Northern California

Springtime in Northern California means green rolling hills dotted with oak trees.  The type of grass that we have here grows in the spring and by summer it has bloomed and gone to seed and died leaving the hills golden brown.

California highway 101, north bound, as it passes through Redwood Valley.

I've moved up into the hills near Willits.  I'm on a friends property, and plan to stay here for a while.  I have water, electricty and a sewer connection so I'm all set.

I will talk about those two propane tanks next week.

Wood pile for the kitties to hunt lizards in.

Going for a walk to show the kitties the yard.


Chicken coop, soon to have chickens.

Eucalyptus tree shedding its bark.



This next picture is taken out my door.  I have a new screen setup.  Years ago I bought one of those magnetic screen doors 'as seen on tv', and it had two black stripps of magnets down the middle, it worked but obstructed the view. Let's go back a bit.  The rv has a screen door but when the kitties are outside I leave it open so they can have free running in and out privileges. Ok, back to now.  The old screen was getting a bit worn out so when I went to order a new one I saw ones made for sliding doors which had one big panel with a narrow panel on the side.  That's what I got and when it came I cut the narrow side panel off and hand stitched a casing at the top, removed all magnets from the sides, as they were getting stuck on the door, and now I have a nice view. And it keeps the bug out where they belong, and the turkeys too.


I clip the corner up so the kitties can
duck under it to come in.  Also in this picture
you can see the curtain tucked up on the left? 
At night I drop that down over the door for privacy. 
The other curtain you see closes off the cab part 
of the truck at night.


I'll be back soon explaining the two propane tanks.
