Hi everyone! So there's a new program out there called Fanbank that we are a part of now. Basically it's a marketing platform to help small local businesses compete with the big guys. And the thing is, it's a win-win for consumers!! Use it to shop, eat, sleep at places you would go anyway (like us 😉) build up "fancoins" and get $20 or $50 gift cards to places like Blockbuster, Whole Foods, Uber, Movie Theaters, Barnes and Nobel and a lot more!! So please, check it out. We signed up! 😁

An update on our raised garden! As you can see, it's a Jungle in there!! The tomatoes are starting to produce a lot of tomatoes, so far we've only picked a couple, but in a few weeks we're gonna have bushel baskets full!🍅🍅 The eggplant are producing pretty good, as a matter of fact we had Eggplant Parmesan the other night and it was delicious!🍆🍆 A lot of peppers too, bell peppers poblano, serrano and aniheims.🌶️🌶️ Right now we have cucumbers coming out of our ears!🥒🥒 We planted 6 plants to begin with, then when we thought we planted 4 zucchini, it turned out 3 were cucumbers as well!! So, stay at the Brightwood and get a free cucumber!! 🤣 The last two pictures are a ground squirrel I caught getting into our bird feeders, the cheeky little devil! 😆

A closer look at our baby Kestrels. I saw the Mom drop off a mouse for them yesterday, so it's good to know Mommy still looking after her babies. OK, so they're not babies anymore, but they're still dang cute!! ☺️😁😀

Three immature Kestrel's (AKA Sparrow Hawk) have been hanging around our herb garden all week. Kestrel's are actually a Falcon, despite it's common name. You can often see them hovering over a field looking for mice and other small prey. 🐦😁
