Work continues on the casita. The tile roof will be returned to its former "glory." A new door has been cut between the two rooms and the bathroom replaced. The walls are about two feet thick and the restoration is being done with fresh adobe and rough timbers.
New addition to the "life list" is the Golden Olive Woodpecker.
