Friday we wrapped up work on the front of the hacienda with everything but the pedestals and their accompanying urns. Monday we start the retaining wall in the back in preparation for the new terrace, pergola and water feature. The owners, Lawrence and Debra were in town for the holiday and couldn't have been happier with the progress. And I brought over a few orchids, just to show them some of the beautiful things they could grow here. We have so many hundreds of growers of orchids and bromeliads around us that the bounty available is almost an embarrassment of riches. With Lawrence in particular being an avid gardener, I'm pretty sure he'll become as much an addict as I am. At least the physical effects of this addiction all seem to be good. It's about as evil as being addicted to exercise and healthy food. If something's going to kill me, let it be these things.
