A photo( and occasional sketch) diary to monitor my culture shock from my move from a West Coast urban city to a beautiful and very small rural community in The Great North West. ***Click on pics for larger image. Updated every week, if we're lucky.***

10. Weedwhackers n' gingham

Que and I make plans so I can see the grounds of his new place of employment. I am surpised that it takes less than 5 minutes to drive there from downtown. I pass by several churches and old charming suburban homes...


Out of the corner of my eye I spot a young woman standing on the garden slope of a 50's era row house. She is dressed in a prairie style gingham gown and bonnet and wielding garden machinery. I look closer and see that she is whirring away with what looks like a Weedwhacker. I almost crash....

That afternoon I go home and do a search for "Mennenights". [sic]
