		<description><![CDATA[Thing Two has been very pleased to watch his plants grow bigger and bigger.  He is less excited about the need to thin the plants, as he hates to lose any of the seeds he has so carefully tended. The mint starts we received last year from Thing Two&#8217;s great-aunt outgrew their pots, so this [...]]]></description>

The thunderbirds at the top represent his troop, and the four animals underneath are the four patrols: Eagle, Bear, Orca, and Elk. The scoutmaster reports that people have been coming to their campsite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thing Two is not known for being restaurant friendly yet, but we believe that can be accomplished with enough training under appropriate circumstances.  With that in mind, we opted for an early Friday dinner at Ivar&#8217;s Salmon House on Lake Union.  We arrived just ahead of the weekend crowds, so the restaurant grew progressively busier [...]]]></description>

One of our friends&#8217; favorite places at the zoo is the Willawong Station.  During the summer, one can purchase a seed stick [...]]]></description>

This year we have increased the amount of basil and chives, and Thing Two chose to add carrots, cucumbers, and pumpkins to his crop.  One tomato plant has two tiny green tomatoes on it and we [...]]]></description>
