We're trying out a new yard service. The Leyland Cypress, as you can see, has grown too far out into the alley. This company does regular yard work for someone across the street, and they knocked on the door Saturday asking if we wanted our laurel hedge cut.
We already have Jesier for that, and I'm not about to dis him after years of faithful service. But there's always plenty of other work in this yard, so he gave me a bid and said he would come back Sunday morning (he didn't show.)
He did show up this morning, worked for a couple hours, then took off. It's 2 pm and the cuttings are all over the alley. Anyway, if he wants his money he knows where to finish the job. Not real impressed with his communication.
Traffic was terrible around Seattle this weekend and we stayed home, other than walking up two blocks to watch the West Seattle Grand Parade. In the old days (there I go again) it was filled with beautiful floats, marching bands and drill teams from across the city, including the beloved Seattle Chinese Community marching girls (below) in their splendid costumes.
The group has been absent from the parade in recent years, which is a shame. Most of our parade is now local businesses and non-profits advertising themselves. But people still enjoy it, especially the newcomers to West Seattle who think it is heaven here. Maybe it is?
