What to do....in the Summer?

Marysville, Wa has a great park called Jennings Park.  Within the huge Park are trails, play sets, ponds, a petting zoo, and a master garden.

My kids know that if we go to Jennings Park they can bike, skate board, throw a frisbee- but they're on their own, because I'll be in the master garden.

It doesn't bother me that my own garden will never look like this.  I only have to come visit this one and enjoy it.  I so appreciate the master gardeners who have volunteered their time for this project.  It is breathtaking and peaceful here.

Hopefully if you are near Jennings Park you'll take some time to enjoy the master gardens.  Go and "sit a spell" because it will do your soul good.  Plus, if you like gardening, you might just get some great ideas!  I know I do.

What to do? Art Walk in Arlington

photo by SMW
 In a small town like Arlington, there are small, yet joyful things to do.  Our families' latest find is the Art Walk.  The Arlington Arts Council has placed upwards of 17 pieces of art forms- sculptures, paintings on walls, active art such as the Sound Garden, and art designs such as the Labyrinth.  The Walk travels along side the Centennial trail that goes through town and ends across the Stilly River over the bridge.  

We had an enjoyable time as a family seeing all the different pieces that make up history and the culture of Arlington, WA.
