Yeah, Dad is pretty funny. Among his many degrees is one in architecture. Though he never pursued it as a line of work, he did work for his uncle's firm and is a qualified architect, and his uncle's fimr designed some of the most famous buildings in Seattle -- so there's good genes there! He's convinced the guys are going to do things wrong and this way he can always correct them. ;-)

A garden and a yard are hard, hard work, but it's a real payoff this time of year when things are blooming like mad.
