It’s a work in progress but everything should work now

 

Jane's got a new slideshow up: the Seattle Chinese Gardens…

It's under construction and will be for years, but it's already camera ready. It's done in cooperation with a sister city, and will be a huge place with a lake and some really spectacular architecture: if you can't afford to go to China, you can take some pretty...

A quiet day…a good one.

Jane got the last of the plantings done. I got the UV filter fixed on the fish pond. And if you wonder why the Scribometer hasn't moved, it's because after Jane being sick, and now that she's getting well, ---even though I kept writing through the worry and the upset,...
