After the crushing news this morning of Maisie's death I had to keep busy. Clive set me to work with a brush cutter to remove the weeds from the steps that go up through Tricia's garden. After an hour Clive returned having secured the electric fence around the garden and we&nbsp; came back to the house for refreshments. The electric fence is to keep out bears and deer - although I've seen a few deer no sign of a bear, yet.

The temperature soon gets up to 30 plus degrees so working in the sun is not wise however in the shade of the trees we did manage to take out some tree stumps that were in the way of the Mule tracks.

Here's a view of the lower cabin, it nestles beautifully into the hillside and looks out over woodland. I opted to stay in the upper cabin with views over Redwood Valley.
