We're Working!!..sort of...

Hi all,
After a couple days in Christchurch we decided to leave. We got back in the car and went back to a place called Akaroa. It's a tiny town 1.5hrs outside of Chch. Gay fell in love with it and so we wanted to spend some more time here. We found out about a web site (http://www.helpx.net) which connects people who need odd jobs done in exchange for room and board. So we hooked up with a couple people and made some arrangements and right now we staying in a beautiful home located on the bay and we're doing some gardening work. It's a temporary thing and Gay had to push me into doing it, but I'm glad we did, and now were both doing some work that isn't exactly our thing before we do work that is our thing. It's a lot of fun so far and we're both getting our hands dirty and learning a bit about gardening. We're going to take some pics and put it up, but right now I'm on dial-up so that won't happen until we move on to the next place.
-Jon

Blogspam... sheesh.

Crap. Another portent of The End of Civilization As We Know It.

Move along, Jon and Gay, there's nothing to see here.

I love weeding! Remember to pull from the bottom of the root. Lift from your legs, not your back. Those are my gardening tips of the day.

My gardening tip is: Stay away from the poison ivy!
Enjoy the garden, take time to smell the flowers. Cliche, yes, but true non-the-less.
Miss you!
