Seattle, Spo-de-caan

Traveled across the state to Seattle this past weekend. We are familiar enough with the Seattle area that we didn't use our GPS until it was time to go from our hotel in Renton to Holly & Matt's house and we turned it on so that we would take the most direct route. Just want to say that without the GPS we would have still gotten there!

Interestingly, the exit on I-5 northbound to H&M's is a dual exit which also serves to enter I-90 eastbound for Spokane. Only, in her fine British accent, the voice on the GPS kept pronouncing Spokane as Spo-de-caan. We laughed every time!

We went over to help with some sprucing up of the front yard and deck in preparation for the wedding party weekend at the end of the month. When we arrived, though, H&M tossed out the possibility of helping them paint their dining room red. We declined, nicely I hope! Just wasn't in our mindset to paint in Seattle in 90 degree heat.

Planting, weeding, pruning in 90 degree heat was enough! Although, my kind of fun! The results look great and I hope the plants settle in and bloom beautifully through the party weekend.
