And then it was Saturday.
What a week.
The tree came down.
The fence went up.

And so did Lucy.
When I saw the fence guys fire up their chain saw I asked them if they would cut up the fig tree and take it to the curb.
For $60.00 they would.
Done. And done.
Farewell dear friend.
In other news, we have a changing of the guard here at SBC.
The Colonel is finished with her assignment and is moving back home on Sunday.
To my initial dismay she put a posting up in the Pentagon gym advertising the room for rent.
To my eventual delight I acquired a new housemate who will drop off his things on Sunday, drive his family to Seattle on Monday and return soon to finish his final 6 months of service. He's a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force.
When we met I showed him around the house. Then he asked to see the garden.
He passed the Jane test.
I also told him I often watch The Rachel Maddow Show at night.
Would he have a problem with this if he was around?
I don't like to make people uncomfortable with my politics. Well, not if I'm sharing space with them...
No, he assured me. He had a two month assignment in the White House last year and he didn't want to leave. Apparently you can help yourself to vegetables from the garden.
Also he reminded me, he's from Seattle.
Sealed the deal for me.
Lucy, not so easily persuaded.
She will watch
