Time to Rest

 Yesterday, Thursday, we completed the last big job on the spring garden list.

We trimmed and weeded the plants on the driveway wall. I ran the hedge trimmer, clipping off the spent blooms on the perennial candy tuft, and doing some of the weeding. Tom weeded and cleaned up. It took us two and  half hours, and wore us out. After lunch Tom took the blower to the driveway and cleaned up all of the fir tree debris. Now it is looking spiffy, and we have gone on vacation.

After breakfast this Friday morning we left for Whidbey Island. While the traffic and the overloaded ferries slowed us down, we made it in time for a very late lunch.  Now we have been to dinner at a local brew pub and in a bit we'll go for a little sun down stroll. 

It's sunny and warm and we are happy to be carefree for a few days.

The garden is looking good so there won't be much work to do. Poppies are blooming and recent rain has kept everything green and growing so far.

Down the beach road the vacant lot is full of blooming Thrift. The sky is blue and the living is easy.
