RETIREES Carol and Bill Kendrick are having fun spruc-
ing up their yard and participating in the local commu-
raty.
Northwest Washington Fair, so
when Carol started working on
her garden a couple of years ago,
she began by laying out a basic
design and then looking at how
much space remained for sun and
shade before selecting her favorite
shrubs, trees and flowdrs to plant•
Bill helps with the heavy lifting
and digging and as a result of their
efforts the Kendricks now have a
Japanese stroll garden featuring a
winding path with a different view
at virtually each curve beginning
at the entrance to her driveway.
Behind this, Carol's home office
windows look out over a Japanese
courtyard with a simple bamboo
fountain, a Japanese maple and
elegant Japanese irises. She says
she especially likes these irises
because of how their petals spread
out like butterfly wings.
A particularly Japanese theme
in tree and flower choices spreads
throughout the yard. "I like the
simplicity," Carol explains.
IN THE BACK, beside the lit-
tle waterfall, a set of locally made
garden chairs she bought at Shel-
ton's own Twigs 'n' Twine waits to
offer guests a place to rest in the
shade. Projects still in progress in-
clude growing more ground cover
and plans to hang grapevines.
They're also working on fixing
damage from last winter's wind-
storm, which did set them back a
bit.
"It's just going to be a cool
place," she says.
Carol and Bill like watching
the birds that visit several bird
feeders off their deck. They have
spotted a western tanager, a tropi-
cal-looking bird with bright yellow
and orange plumage. Recently this
species has stopped by almost ev-
ery day, since the Kendrick home
is in its migratory path.
Their garden will be one of sev-
en open for public viewing at the
eighth annual Master Gardener
Garden Tour, which will take
place this Saturday.
THE COUPLE attends servic-
es at First Baptist Church of" Shel-
ton. In her spare time, Carol also
enjoys reading. She loves looking
up recipes on-line and in maga-
zines. "I have a nose in a magazine
all the time. Whenever I can," she
says.
She and Bill also have fun catch-
ing crab around Union on Hood
Canal. Since crabbing season just
opened, she shared the following
recipe:
Baked Crab Casserole Recipe

8 oz. fresh linguine
2 large onions, chopped

planted and designed in tribute
to a wiiz who had nominated
their garden to be on the tour be-
