Austin Pepper Seed Strikes Again

Austin is starting a whole new crop of peppers in preparation for the rainy reason. If a seed doesn't grow, he takes it out and puts it in water so it will sprout first. He never gives up! He has his Auntie Cynthia shopping for more varieties. He also insists that I use them in all my cooking! Anyway, he quite enjoys his gardening; me - I'll stick to roses!

Here are a couple of shots of his new crop. We use the washed out milk containers for his nursery which works very well.

Visit to Tamarindo Beach

Our friend, Pat, was visiting Costa Rica and one of her stops was Tamarindo beach which is about 2 hours north from us. We went to her hotel for the day to visit and collect our "Canada package" of goodies. One of the items were jeans for John which to all concerned was a quite a relief as he was resembled either a vagabond or a rock star, depending on how you viewed his jeans (or what was left of them!)

Here are some photos of Austin doing his back flip into the pool and Pat and her friends. I think you can see Andrew in the pool in the background in one of the shots.
