The Bigs decided the hops had to go. They attract aphids. Aphids ruin both the hops and the plum tree, so we pulled them out this weekend.
Check out these roots.
Everyone knows The Bigs would not rip out their privacy wall without a plan. The plan is silver lace vine and it has already been planted.
Besides gardening, I played some soccer. I had two games this weekend.
I also got some new sneakers. The sneakers that I have on in this picture, which make me very happy, are not the sneakers The Bigs planned on buying me. They felt they were outside a reasonable price range for a child’s sneaker. We struck a deal. If I paid the difference between what they thought was a reasonable price and the price of the sneakers I wanted, I could have them. I got them.
How could I not get speed laces
and trail running soles?!
I also did a little baking – making some ‘muffins’ for mom,
harvested all the lettuce I grew this month so The Bigs could have huge salads for lunch,
AND NANA IS HERE!
For dinner we made Food Court Singapore Noodles.
Sorry that the hops had to go but I’m sure the silver vine will be a great replacement. You are looking good out on the soccer Feld. I hope you are enjoying playing. I love your new sneakers and glad you won that battle. Tell the “bigs” to lighten up. Hope the muffins came out tasty for mom and you have a wonderful time with Nana. The meal in this blog looked edible😂😂😂
It’s so wonderful to be here! Yesterday after I arrived, Em took me on a 2+ mile walk along the canal. I walked,
Emmett biked, doing a bunch of ‘out and backs’ while I lagged behind. Today, after school, Em and I will go to the library, then hang around Bend downtown for a while before going to soccer practice… this family does know how to keep busy. Amazing how quickly the hops were out and the silver lace went in with new wired structure!
I also can’t believe how much new construction has appeared since my last visit, but still lots of undeveloped natural space for wonderful trails for public use!
Thanks so much to Becca, Kyle and Em for continuing the blog!! I look forward to it each Sunday.
