Mount Vernon Update

Well, another weekend in Mount Vernon has come and gone. We have accomplished one thing and that is we got all the dirt into the big garden bed in the rear of the home. Brandi is now planting. We also got the pond in place and edged it with stone from Millard's Nursery.

We also finished the stone work in the front of the garden as you see it this shot. It was a lot of work and we still need to put down some bark/mulch. We are using this product instead of the typical beauty bark that most use. It is supposed to maintain moisture better. We will do the bark next weekend. I fetch it while Brandi plants what needs to be planted.

This is a shot of Mount Baker in her glory. We actually see less of her from our Mount Vernon home because of our close proximity of the foot hills. You will actually see more of her from farther South on I-5.

We had a welcome respite on Saturday evening. Our neighbors Stephanie and Tim invited us down for a barbecue where we consumed some really great food and met other neighbors and friends of Stephanie and Tim. We did not stay long as we needed to get into the shower.

Sunday we went to my church and then we made a dash for a church that Brandi wanted to check on only to learn that during the summer months, the meeting begins at 9:30 which puts in 30 mintues into mine. Next week we will attend this church to see what it is about.

Oh, still no showings on our Hansville home and therefore, no sale.
