Work's All Done On Whidbey

 With neither of us in great shape we nonetheless knew we needed to get up to the Whidbey cabin and so some weeding. It's almost tulip time and we needed to get the front yard in shape.  We figured if we didn't push too hard we could get the job done over three days.

We arrived under cloudy skies on Tuesday after a long ferry wait. That afternoon we sized up the job and put in the first hour of work.

Then we spent a little time sitting on a log on the beach. It looked like there was sunshine all around us but not where we were. But it was dry and calm and mild.

Wednesday we knew that rain was expected by mid day so we got going early. We put in two hours of work and finished weeding the front garden. Several walkers passed by and let us know how much they enjoyed our tulip display. Now the garden is ready for its admirers. 

In the afternoon we took our two big yard waste bags to the yard waste dump and then went to the café at Bayview Garden Center for coffee and a goodie. It was raining co we didn't linger outside but of course we did have to check out the garden shop and greenhouse.

Spring plants aren't in stock yet, but there is always something interesting.

Like this euphorbia!

It's wet out here. 

Frog weather.

This afternoon I took off Tom's bandages - we had permission to do so - and replaced them with smaller dressings. He's more comfortable now.

It's gray and wet now but we are cozy in the cabin.

We will go home tomorrow afternoon, giving us a little time to play first. We are quite pleased with ourselves for getting the work done without much harm to our old bodies.
