Weekend's end

Had a lovely afternoon, spent with my husband. My sister took our mother off to visit sis's ex-mother-in-law, with whom she is still friends. Spouse and and I went off on a long walk which combined some errands with enjoyment of a perfect day. We frequently wind up down in Fremont, a neighborhood near the canal from Lake Union out through the locks and into Puget Sound. As we walked down the hill, we scouted out possible plants to use to spruce up the denuded strips along the top and and bottom of our rebuilt retaining wall. Whatever plants we decide upon must be shade tolerant and drought resistant, as well as evergreen and gorgeous. I'm thinking some types of hebes would do well, but I'm not sure about their water requirements.
Fremont was thronged with people, out for the sun, out for the weekly Sunday Fremont Market, just out. We stopped by the Co-op branch down there to pick up ingredients for dinner, and worked our way back up the long hill towards home. On our way through the Upper Woodland Park hills, we passed Bunny Rocks, which was hopping with rabbits, squirrels, crows and the folks who like to feed them; a veritable Peaceable Kingdom.
