Sitting Still For a While in Canby OR

We have arrived, parked & settled into our new "temporary home" for the next few months in Canby, OR. We will be "property sitting" at a picturesque spot in Canby, OR while our host, Richard and Marlene, travel across country to Washington D.C.

What makes this particular site so interesting is that we are parked in a neighborhood airpark. Almost everyone in this neighborhood has a plane in their garage/hanger & the main road in front of the homes is their runway--too cool.

Today we spent our time learning about which tasks need to be done, how the riding lawnmower works (hey Frank hasn't mowed a lawn for over 6 years), which plants need to be watered & when, which vegetables need to be weeded or cut backed & even learned a little more about Marlene & Richard's special interests (our favorite part).

This evening Marlene made us a wonderful pasta dinner, accompanied by a fresh avocado/ pecan/feta spinach salad dressed with her own homemade raspberry vinaigrette and it was topped off with delicious bread previously baked in their earthen oven. What a treat for us.
