Don and flew back to Mesa. As we were leaving Winnipeg there was snow falling and the wind was howling. We got out of Dodge just in time.
Everything looks good in the Mesa House. The plants amaze me. They grow in the intense heat! I even had some plants survive in the pots. The potato vines over summered as did the elephant food. I got a few plants from Home Depot and redid the pots. Don had the gardener come a trim a few things and blow out all the debris. The yard looks very nice now.
The bougainvillea has grown and is flowering beautifully!
The grapefruit tree is still trying to get over the bad case of thrips. We have been treating it with insecticide since last year.
It actually has a large grapefruit on it!!
Potted plants. The potato vine lasted through the hot summer months.
Another pot. In this on the lemon grass lasted. It was a huge mess of blades of grass and seed heads. The gardener trimmed it all back and I potted some annuals in with it.
More pots. Notice the large green trailing elephant food plant. It did very well!

Ah. The lake. So tranquil!
