Finishing up the top layer of the foundation wall and getting everything set for finishing the basement. The stairs will be put in by the team arriving from the States in 5 days. The flooring also has to be laid, but once laid it needs 20 days set, without rain! 

Well, yesterday was a blustery day and by evening
it rained, today it rained, tomorrow it's suppose to rain, 
you get the general cycle here, it's spring time. 

It's still rather cool because of the rain, but 

the trees and plants are enjoying the benefits.

This may not look like much of anything & for several weeks now 

I've been watching the grape vines, wondering how many of the 

10 we planted were lost this past winter. 

This one finally developed some life. 

I've been amazed by these grape vines, 

how the small vine looks after the winter, so dead and lifeless.

Then one day these small green leaves seem to show up out of no where

& life begins again. I'm not surprised why 

Jesus drew parallels to these plants so many times 

in his ministry here on earth.

cherries!
