Hello all family and friends! It's been 3 months and we are finally settled out here in Naples, town next to Vernal. We technically live 1/2 a block from the border of Vernal. Funny when I talked to all the Utilities, and DSL Companies I would say Vernal and get corrected, so that is why I now say Naples.
It is very lovely out here and the house we are renting is great. Our home is 2500+ square feet and the lot is an acre. Everyone has thier own space. All the rooms are nice and large. There is no basement, the water table is too high for that. And in the kitchen there are a lot of cupboards-believe it or not I did not have enough to put in them, and I thought I had too much.
In the yard we have 12 different fruit trees, 7 varieties. Apples, apricots, peaches, pears, cherries, and nectarines. We moved just in time to plant our garden. To my surprise most all of our starts have made it, so far. Unfortunately the yard has been neglected for too long and the ground was not the best, so we did lay down manure and my DH has begun to make a fertilizer tea and the weather has been wonderful as far as the rain. The neglect has also added to another problem; Deer-they have made this yard part of thier ritual so much so that the other night before the sun had even set they had to be chased out of our yard. So we will see although I did see a yellow summer straight neck ripening the other day. And all of the bare root tomatoes that I brought home from Okubo's Nursery have made it. We are all crossing our fingers.
Also in the yard there is a fire pit-which is fun. Camping without leaving home! At least toasted marshmallows and smores. It could get pretty creative.
There is this huge apple tree just outside the back door and the boys just love climbing into it, they become little happy monkeys.
We also will be fishing a lot, now that we live so near to so many lakes. And Steinaker has a great little beach we will be going to a lot when the weather
warms up.
Well thats all for this time, and more will be added especially pictures.
