On a stellar, gorgeous, picture-perfect Friday Cinco de Mayo, Amy and Gern came over for dinner and a hang, and befitting the occasion I had us Mexican chicken and rice with white cheese dip to fill our bowls and bellies. Enough spice and heat to keep us on our toes, bathed in varying degrees with that chile queso, washed down with libations of individual preferences, it was a delicious dinner with dear friends.
The cooperating favorable weather has permitted a good bit of outside time for yardwork, weeding, and irrigation system maintenance. My age is manifesting itself primarily in my back and I'm struggling a bit, frankly...but progress continues to be made. And speaking of progress: yet another set of apartments is coming to the area close to the house, at the corner of Fourth and Green, on the other side of the West End Village condos that were built on the former Modern Chevrolet lot. It was entertaining to watch the assembly of the tower crane now installed on that site.
Shot either from down in the backyard while I was working, or from the third floor gable window that looks west out of the back of the house, these photos give a small spaced capturing of the process.
For the next year or so, it'll be a temporary entertainment for training my periodic eye on.
