Today I did some touch on the end tables - I started on the coffee Table. I'm running out of space. I had the coffee table out to the side of the house on saw horses and then it started to rain. What luck. I had to wake the husband up from his nap and we both moved it under the patio. It's fine. After dinner, I will move the 2 end tables into the house - place the glass inserts and the end tables will be done.

I do love this tree. It is the main focus of our front yard. I know I mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again - when my parents lived in Shingletown - they had some property and when they bought this house, Dad brought down a few cedar trees to plant.
Another Sweetgum tree
In the backyard, we have this fairly new tree from the city - after years of drought, they gave each household five trees. This is a native California Redbud. It's more like a bush - the really good rainy season we had, really helped all my trees to grow and they all look so healthy.
The rose bush we planted in the spring, seems to thrive in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. It does not like our extreme summer heat.

This is for dinner tonight. I've been craving a quiche and it's been a long time since I made one. I'll make a side of bacon strips to go with it.
So tomorrow will be the unveiling of those pesky end tables...I'll take photos and I'm excited to have them back into the living room.
That's it for me on this Monday.
Time to eat...
