Art In A Gate

Harvesting The Mamey

Yesterday a friend climbed up to the tops of our tree to get these ripe mameys. When this tree started to produce fruit, one fruit would sell for $15 to $19. That was 25 years ago. Now a good one might cost $5.

The putting green at the Granada golf course is a miracle. The grass is cut every morning and there are no weeds.



The grass is no more then on inch tall, or less. It's so perfect, one would think that it was plastic.

Built In The 20's

When this house was built there was no air condition. Then the window was the only form of air condition. The windows on the second floor bedroom tells the story.

Orange Ginger

This ginger is not the one you eat, it's just for looks.

Botanical name: Hedychium aurantiacum Family: Zingiberaceae (ginger family)

Now It's Trimmed

The house is big, but the large gate is what you see.
