Greenery added to our lot improvement
We planted some Palm trees, a lime tree, two Honeysuckle bushes for the butterfly’s and Hummingbirds. Two hanging pots with pretty flowers of some sort, and my table. The table I mulled over to the point of obsession, I visited second hand shops , considered cutting down a Boogie board, (small surf board) and finally ended up at Wally World, buying an adjustable table. I installed two hinges and cut a board to support it when up. The board will simply remove and store along the fence rail when not used. I attached a metal end, that inserts into a slot on the metal angle under the table.
Now I can sleep.

You've certainly come a long way from hardly knowing how to post a pic...looking good! That'll look sweet if you can keep them alive.

Will they let you book the same spot for next year before you leave?

Lookin good you two. I am glad I am not the only person who spruces up a campsite before I leave it for the next person. The person who gets yours next is very lucky!

Thanks, the site is ours every year for 5 month's if we want it, which we will, barring any peril. We know that we are taking a chance on theft, or damage. Can't control that, as they rent the site to others. That is a chance I will take for the pleasure of 5 month's here. The fence will be a challenge for anyone to dis-assemble, as I counter-sunk 4" lag bolts, drove them in with my impact tool, so the heads are buried; 4 in a post. I would like to sit in a lawn chair and see anyone try and get them out.....he he,,, I don't think they will bother the fence. Many here have made improvements that survive from year to year. Ozzie, I treat the computer like any troubleshooting situation, just hammer away until I figure it out.

Now that you have made all these improvements on your site, they will put a toll on the bridge to the island just to come over and see them.

Maybe just raise the rent on a "landscaped lot". (JK) After we got here in September, we had a big rain, and the area behind the RV was covered with water. I looked out and told DW, "we'll have to pay waterfront rates now".
Looks good OZZ. Wish we could do that here. They won't let us put posts in the ground though. Say they don't know where all the utilities are. Guess they never heard of a locater huh? Oh well, we'll survive anyway. Enjoy thyself young man!

OK Ozz, I think you need to get serious about this landscaping business!
When we were in Rockport last winter there was a fellow from Michigan who brought grass seed and a lawnmower with him. He had seeded his lot and had a beautiful lawn which he mowed faithfully.
Is there any reason you can't do the same?

Well...some do it, but as Sue and I just got back from a 8 mile bar hopping tour...ending at Dirty Al's for a Shrimp basket..(and super duper onion rings),it would cut into my bicycle riding time. No sense getting crazy about this landscaping deal.
Will, at least it was the back of the Rv.
