On Saturday we went to the Japanese Garden not five minutes from our house. It was a mixed experience. The garden was absolutely beautiful with tree blossoms, stone bridges and koi fish. The other half of the experience involved trying to keep Eve from climbing under the ropes lining the pathway, eating the foliage, throwing rocks in the placid pond and falling into the water let alone trying to following the garden rule of being quite so as to maintain the peaceful atmosphere. Scott, bless his heart, offered to be on Eve duty so that I could take some pictures.
Raised in a small South Dakota mining town where he learned the value of a sturdy pickaxe and native tubers, Scott is a man's man who knows the meaning of the word testosterone. Apart from devouring freshly slain beasts of the forest, Scott enjoys sharpening his tools, lifting heavy objects, and throwing a ball at a hoop suspended ten feet off of the ground. He also enjoys Romantic Era poetry and Italian cooking.

I love the pictures! Eve looks more like a kid than a toddler. It makes me miss Seattle and your family.
I totally meant to ask you today if you'd been to the Japanese garden! Then I saw your post. I lived in Japan when I was in junior high and I LOVED the gardens. I've been meaning to go here for some time.
It was great to visit with you today!
