More delays!

Now the foundation and other digging is scheduled to start on May 17th.

We're waiting for our archeological permit. We thought we had it but apparently not. Although we knew that building on the beach would be complicated, we had no idea that just getting underway would take so long.

Meanwhile in our Seattle home we're finishing up a little remodel to allow us to rent out the basement. We have two lovely tenants who are excited about being here, sharing the backyard, and taking care of Maki and the house when we travel. This  makes selling the house less urgent. Hooray!

So we're enjoying our mutant tulip

and a sweet pair of ducks I just shot- (oooh... with a camera!) Perched on our roof, ready to settle in on our neighbor's front yard.

Enjoying the garden

And just being lazy!
