Yesterday we spent the entire first half of the day in our front lawn picking weeds which resulted in a large garbage bag full of weeds and significant sunburns. Levi called our weed picking community building, the neighbors driving by where noticeably rubbernecking to check out the new neighbors, we gave lots of waves, two neighbors came to give plants to us, two neighbors offered their trashcan space to us, and another neighbor brought us over tools that would assist us in better removing our weeds. We love our neighborhood!
Recently we discovered Yuma's only wine cellar, a tiny space with an electric welcoming environment. Every Thursday and Friday they have a rotating wine tasting, we enjoyed ourselves so much we plan to make this a once or twice a month occurrence. We also found a fantastic bar with regular live music and $2 anything drinks and a place that offers cigar tastings every Friday. These sort of gems in Yuma are difficult to find but the discovery process has been quite enjoyable!
This is very different than the kind of "community building" that Levi liked to do on the top of my garage in the Central District here in Seattle! I would say its a vast improvement. And he is even composting at home now--Good work Jen! Your remodel work is putting Suzanne and me to shame. We miss you and look forward to a Memorial Day bbq back here.
