What a great day! It was perfect weather for all of us. The keeper was out all morning visiting with her friend J. J showed the keeper her fava beans which have grown considerably over the past months. J also introduced the keeper to a "fabulous" little corner grocery called the Urban Market on 8th NW. It is a "corner grocery" with a built in restaurant. Lots of cold drinks, sandwiches, even dinner, homemade desserts, wines, fresh fruit, specialty canned tomatos. She said it reminded her of the old Plenty in Madrona which was the gathering place for many people for several years. She loved that place.
Eventually the keeper came home and we spent the rest of the day outside. She did more planting and weeding and our favorite memory of the afternoon is seeing her all covered with the bark dust which she was spreading over the ground on the street side. It looks better on the ground than it does on her. But it looks good with the lavendar plants and the laurel. Tomorrow we will plant more vegies in pots and finish up the rest of the flowers.
Tonight she brought out "Da Bird" and we chased it and jumped up and down all over the yard.
Alice got an asthma attack and had to rest. But I was very impressed with the way I was still able to jump and twist in the air, just like I never did. But I wanted to impress Alice. Downs used to do the jumping, and I kept close to the ground. But for an old guy, I am in incredible shape. I haven't lost it.
