I'm seeing some pretty sleepy dogs and their owners out enoying a morning walk. What did you all do last night? lol
Today is going to be a gorgeous sunny one. I think I will stop by our pool when I finish some of my chores at home. Gonna try some hammering and using a saw.......... gads pray for me that I still have 10 fingers when I'm done?

Hello, Happy April Fool's Day
My April Fool's was pretty tame, Anyone else have one that I can put on my blog?
Mostly I stayed pretty busy showing the beautiful mobile home at space 30. It truly seems a shame that this economy has turned upside down in the housing market doesn't it?
The good news is that our Park, Sherman Grove MHP has very little turnover these days. When a mobile home does come on the market it generally sells very quickly.
I'll be posting more on this blog as time goes by.......

You will not believe what I found!!
LABELS, how to make LABELS for internet searches. Apparently to broaden the scope of hits on internet searches, key words or phrases can be added.Sooo my website and blog are no longer limited to my words.
I have been harrassing my poor son and nephew for info re 'tags', not understanding what I was really asking. I wanted to include special reference words that a web crawler or bot would pick up. We went round and round.
Yah like either one of them has nothing else to do right? I know they love me alot when they patiently put up with this senior (and this wasn't even a brain burp (lol)
Well, anyhowz, now I'm dangerous. I've gone back and been labelling all of the oldies posts. Created another all nighter. This one has been like a kid in a candy store.

Midnight in Twilight Zone
Well the mobile home at space #3 is now off the market.
My attempts to propogate the marshmallow plant seems to have been successful. After 4 different attempts, finally success. I repotted the cuttings last night and so far they seem to be doing well (very little shock).
Wouldn't ya know, in the middle of the night here I am spread all over my kitchen floor, towels and sheets all over, repotting many plants, glass of wine handy (of course)...... when a pipe burst under my kitchen sink. Water everywhere. All I could really do at that time of night was soak up the flood, turn off the water and, continue potting my plants.
Then, of course, I spent a good part of the morning fixing the plumbing. hahahahaha me and a pipe wrench, never again.

Lookie Lookie
Another mobile home in our Park is now on the market. A real handyman's special 2 bd 1 ba with an unfinished room addition that could easily be finished as a third bdrm, office, workshop or ??. This addition steps down from the hallway and then exits out to the beautiful yard.
So, for all of you men and women out there with vision, talent and power tools this one is for you. It is priced at $10,000 OBO

Aha, new local links of SKUNK goings on here in Sunland - Tujunga, CA
Who sez we are not inventive capitalists here in the stix (did I say stix.... no no in our secret village here in Sunland-Tujunga,CA ? Even dog groomers are getting in the act!! http://www.wagmytail.com/mobilegroomer/Mobile-Groomer-in-Sunland.html
Even the weather is great for skunk breeding and boy they sure are enjoying it according to the sounds. Now all they need is a cigarette for the afterglow : http://www.wunderground.com/US/CA/Sunland.html
Even some skunk removal services (and more): http://animal-removal-services.dapeem.com/Sunland-CA.html
More Sunland, CA local color and character and SKUNK stories: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242464
To complete the pix for local color and talent we have "The Skunkman" entertaining locally: http://www.johnnyskunk.com/about.html
The lighter side.... Ok Ok now I'm done for the nite. A skunk psychic and skunk whisperer (who sez Sunland-Tujunga, CA is not up with the times?: http://www.debunkingskeptics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1013&start=0. One more pleez: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/mar/17/local/la-me-lopez17-2010mar17
OK I lied. 'Skunk' plants that grow well in Sunland, CA: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/search.php?q=skunk&Search=Search+PlantFiles Seems we are all about skunk this time in the Spring.
more skunks, odor removal
here is some more info I found regarding odor removal, I wish I had this info the last few daze when my dog Kismet was sprayed face on and I was also sprayed the next night. my household was pretty sick for a couple of days http://icwdm.org/Publications/pdf/Skunk/skunkodorremoval.pdf
I had always believed that skunks were diggers, not climbers and, they mainly ate insects and grubs. Reading these articles really opened my eyes to their multitasking and diversity they will do to survive.
Also in this info re skunk behavior, the larger ones will go after, kill and eat something the size of an average cat or small dog. So, ever since the late night antics of the critters here I have a 4x8' lattice gate made that closes at sundown and it cuts off access to my back yard, I added lighting to the back and both side yards also (both of my dogs are really dark and difficult to see at night). Now both of babies are limited to one side yard only and under my supervision.
Anyhowz I certainly learned valuable things on how to live with these 'cuddly' critters. Hope this helps you too

Skunks and my snowjob
Wll I am now researching my new tenant, the skunk. I guess I should hav done this a while ago. Any way here is a link from the Internet Center For Wildlife Damage: http://icwdm.org/handbook/carnivor/skunks.asp. This is really good info.
BTW I did a snowjob on my side yard and my neighbor Sandy's yard. Seeing as my new tenants like to stick their noses in the soil and dig (and do some real damage), I sprinkled Diatomaceous earth on our damp ground now we both have our private snow, it is really pretty. her is a link for info re DE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomaceous_earth . I did notice that neither of us had any nosings, diggings or attempts to next under my mobile home..... aaahhh PROGRESS!
+ my neighbor Deb suggested putting down chix wire to protect plantings from our foothill critters (we have just about every critter you can imagine that have been rendered homeless from the fires here in our mountains and canyons in the San Gabriel Mtns. in SoCal)
