Flowers, pooches, kids, and nudibranchs

The pumpkins vines are snaking across the garden. Their large flowers are popping open, and little pumpkins are emerging! We planted 8 MORE pumpkin plants today, as well as 5 seeds. We love pumpkins! We also planted some fall peas, rutabagas, and cilantro in the garden. The weather is supposed to be nice for the next couple of days, and then, fall arrives!
Here's a photo for the Barkley fans out there. His foot has healed up nicely, and he's back to his bouncy self.
Why are Ari and Alex hanging over the edge of a pier, at night no less?
They're peeking at nudibranchs, those fancy slugs of the sea. The kids joined with students from Ari's marine biology class and People for Puget Sound to observe the sea critters of the night on Wednesday.
