Moving, and Fruit

We're trying to get settled into the house we are renting. It is a small 3 bedroom 2 bath, 1190 square foot house, but it is plenty. The main problem is all of the junk and things that I've accumulated over the years that I have to go through and sort out so that we can actually move in the house. This long three day weekend is going to mostly be dedicated to getting settled in our new place. I'm also going to try to improve the sprinkler system this weekend and see if I can get the front lawn completely watered and hook up an automatic sprinkler system so we don't have to worry about remembering to water anymore (and it's good for trips too). Our lawn and plants at the place were pretty dead but we are slowly bringing things back to life. We have quite a few fruit trees here and lately I've been "discovering" figs and have really started to like them since we have a few big trees. We actually have an orange tree, lemon tree, apple tree, pear tree, 2 fig trees (one Mission, the other some green fig variety), apricot tree, nectarine tree, and pineapple guava tree. Not everything is in season right now but we can't wait until this next spring!

Well, I guess that's about it for now. I'm actually waiting for Windows XP Service Pack 2 to install on my other computer and want to make sure everything works out before I go to bed so I thought I'd write a bit in here before going to sleep. I should get some photos posted up here sometime soon, and maybe move this blog to a different hosting site with more disk space and no advertisements.
