Saved by Israel's Sharp Eye

 

Looking back at the images I had in my laptop, I came across these pictures of a potentially expensive problem diverted by Israel, who often does projects in my house.
When we were trying to figure out how much water was still in the tank, he noticed a vigourous tree root growing under the tank (which is on the roof). This would have grown quickly, and with the weight of the water, would have caused the tank to crack. He worked it out, and saved me from even more water problems than I already have, with a relatively small storage system... gracias, Israel!

I already miss the color!

 

Back in Vancouver, at midnight, Karen, Mary and I are greeted by my son, Jason, who leads us out to the car - the smell, even though we are still in the airport, is overwhelmingly beautiful - green, sappy, green, fresh,...and very green! It has been raining here - surprise!! and I know that in the morning I will wake up to a very green Vancouver.
