Arlington Wa.

Busy week. Last weekend We lost our koi Chubby, and to ease the pain ,We had a small funeral for it. Kids seems to understand death much better once involved in the process. I also had the waterfall fixed, We had a leak and were loosing 1 inch a day of water. I've been very busy.I have some routines and spend anywhere from 1 hours to 4 hours at least a day working on the outside of the house. Tomorrow I will plant cauliflower,green beans and fennel. The plants are fairly big already, they just need to be moved out of pots. Kids are so busy with friends,that the moment homework is done they are outside for a good 4 hours a day.I see them and hear them but they are in and out and outside. Tonight my neighbors invited us for dinner, flank steak,salad,corn and fruit salad. While Cassie was in the toddler pool with their son, another neighbor who knew my garden waste bin was full, mowed my lawn and dumped my yard clippings. I could have cried! He said his wife was home alone a lot do to his job in the past,so he understood.Included is a pic of the lawn perfectly done! Yesterday I took a stroll downtown Arlington while shopping for gardening supplies, it's so pretty!I even tried a new diner,amazing costumer service!
