a full Saturday

We had a busy Saturday. Here's Unity eating lunch at Szechuan Noodle Bowl (despite her face, she really did like it!). Then we stopped by the Real Change office to help with a mailing and Unity supervised her mama's desk. Finally, some rest.

So long Axel

How quickly things can change! The last post featured photos from our garden which were taken just yesterday. Well. Today I discovered that two of the chickens had gotten out and had a feast. They didn't get to the cherries, or the artichoke, but other plants were not so lucky. I think most everything will come back eventually, but this is not the first time this has happened and it led to a decision. Our family will be decreasing by three. We have been feeling lately that the chickens need more space and grass than we can provide them right now and clearly they feel the same. So it's free to a good home for Axel, Slash and Duff, and I can't say I'm too sad. It's been fun but I am ready to have a good garden.

The Garden in late May

In order: artichoke!, trying to keep the birds from the cherries, brussel sprout, beets, carrots and calendula.

climbing and sitting

Walk this way- again

Walk this way

In which we discover crayons

and learn a few things. For example, that Cooper, Hiram and Unity are more interested in holding and trying to bite the crayons then in actually coloring. Ah well, they'll learn.

ends and odds

Look at that long hair! Hanging with Dan and Felix at Bradner Gardens. Lounging at Madison Beach with parents.

Rachel and John's wedding

On Sunday we attended the wedding of Rachel and John, two folks I know from Real Change. They had planned to be outside in a park, but with some rain we transformed the food court at Seattle Center into wedding land. Here some photos from the event-most everyone there is connected to Real Change in some way so it was a fun celebration.
