Tonya and Rob’s wedding

A few highlights from Tonya and Rob’s wedding.

banding baby scrub wrens

We got to help Tonya band some baby scrub wrens (the birds that she studies)

Owlet-nightjar baby

This baby owlet nightjar was found in the area that Tonya studies. A bunch of biologists wanted to see it, so it was captured and oggled at by us all.

Kitchen before and after

We just did a little reworking of our kitchen that was just completed today. If you need a handyman in Santa Cruz, let us, know. Phil Emory did this for us and he is great, friendly, and thorough.

2 little monkies jumping on the bed

We spent part of Nitzana’s birthday exploring the forest floor. She pulled up some mushrooms, ripped up a chantrelle, grabbed a newt, and held a banana slug a litle bit too tight. Banana slug slime doesn’t come off eaisly we learned today..

“I’m strong as a bull”

Our neighbor and friend, “Grandma Helen” had a great time picking pumpkins at the local pumpkin patch. I felt a little guilty that she was pulling Hadassah and several pumpkins up hill in an old wagon, but she reminded me that she, at 83 is as strong as a bull, and she is!
