Well, another weekend has pasted in Mount Vernon. We continue to work on the big garden bed in the rear of the house. Brandi placed the first row of stones that give the garden shape and we unloaded another truck load of garden soil. Talk about arm busting, whew! She also did some more planting of both flowers and some veggies. I also mowed and edged the yard. I can cut the entire lawn, front and back, and not have to empty the bag but once. Nice!!!
The area we worked on this past weekend is to the left in this picture. You see the fruit trees and new walkway into them. We also placed her little pond, a must. That area has 8 yards of garden soil coming on Friday afternoon. Farther out is a nice shot of the park behind our house. Once that soil is in place, most of the work will be Brandi's. I will help put the mulch/bark down after she plants.
This is the trellis we put up last week for the Evergreen Clematis. This is right in front of our dinning room window, thus providing privacy.Friday night we were joined by Ann, a colleague of Brandi and Ann's daughter Melissa. Melissa is a 16 year old soccer player from Bainbridge Island and she and her team mates were up in Burlington for a soccer tournament. Melissa's team won two games and will return on Sunday for the championship. Oh, should I mention that Melissa is Eurasian and is drop dead gorgeous, and has personality as well. Both Ann and Melissa were fun to have.

Saturday, we did some shopping and went over to Christensen's. It is a big nursery where Brandi bought more perennials. I walked around and looked at pots and plants. Yawn.
For the first time since going up to Mount Vernon, we did not go out to eat. I have picked up some type of stomach bug and will not tolerate much food. Soups and crackers for the most part. I do think it is getting better.
We attended church on Sunday and both Brandi and I had some difficulty sitting for the 90 minute service as our bodies were really hurting. We managed to stay away from Remington and family(see June 15), though we met Katelyn, Braeden, and Ryan. Little Katelyn is just a little talker and mom likes to talk to her about keeping quite, but does so in a conversational voice. Not one meant for Sacrament meeting. Oh well. Oh, we had one of the ward families sing a special musical number and they have 8 children. I'd tell you their names , but I don't have a program or ward roster, therefore, I can't think of how to spell the family name. It is not a common name. We also learned that Remington's family has 6 with one in the oven. Typical Mormon families.
