For some reason, even if we’re in those really exotic locations, Chris and I always get colds. Apparently, our immune system isn’t that strong! But after spending two weeks inside the house (one to rest and get stronger, the second one to catch up on the work that we hadn’t done for a while), it was time for us to go outside!

A lot of the trees are too tall to get at so it was tough to find a low tree that wasn’t already picked by someone else or the squirrels. But, I found a nice hidden tree in the back that had a few.
