Back in 2021, when my parents visited after COVID restrictions loosened, my father and Evelin had a conversation about the deck. He's a firm believer in power washing, and we'd been letting the deck weather naturally. I wasn't there for it, but shortly after the 'rents returned to Louisiana, an Amazon driver dropped off a Kärcher K1700 power washer (along with the 11-inch surface cleaner attachment).
So the deck was cleaned, along with the front porch and stairs and more.
Celeste and Evelin quickly had the idea of using the pressure washer to add some fun to the sidewalk in the form of a hopscotch grid.* It was great seeing kids of all ages stop on their way to/from school to hop through the course, but dirt and grime build up and the 2021 hopscotch grid was pretty faded.
So today, they were back at it. Replacing the hopscotch grid and adding more elements of whimsy: sasquatch footprints, a sea monster, various stars and squiggles.
* I'm not sure if that's the best word. Is it a grid? a course? a field? a board?
