A Visit With Bob.


Going to the Movies.

Patti and Joanne were going to a movie matinee to see
Momma Mia  Here we go again.
I didn’t want to go so I went to see Bob.

At Bob’s Place.

I got to Bob’s around noon.
The first thing we did was to check out the chickens.

We hung out in the chicken yard for a while talking about raising chickens and watched the birds play.

Bob has about 40 chickens. He plans to raise them for meat and  eggs so he has introduced some younger chicks and will continue to introduce young chicks periodically so he always has chickens  old enough to butcher.

Grazing in the Orchard.

After watching the chickens for a while, we decided that we needed a snack so we left the chickens and wandered around Bob’s orchard grazing on Plums Peaches and some of his wonderful Mulberries.

Old Toyota.

After eating our fill of fruit we walked over to check out Bob’s old Toyota Land Cruiser.

He is trying to get the Toyota back on the road. It has been sitting for several years so he has a bunch of stuff to fix on it. Right now he is working on some electrical problems.

A Jeep Ride.

After a bit we decided that a jeep ride would be fun so we got in my jeep and went across the road to the family’s property. They have several acres that border Armstrong Woods State Park. Bob has built a lot of roads on the property.
Some of the property is very steep hills and the whole property is covered with redwood trees.

We eventually made it to the top and had a nice view of the valley where Guerneville lies.

We finished the ride and were back at Bob’s house around 3:30. It was time for me to go home but I had to have some more of those sweet Mulberries.
After eating a hand full of berries I said good by to Bob and headed for home.

Okay that was my visit to Bob’s.

Patti enjoyed the movie so much she is going to take her two daughters to see it.
