It was mostly at a normal level. The reason you would have heard it is because someone would have come over to talk to you about it. Also, I guess I'm kind of using a non-Canadian term - when I say "garden", I actually mean "yard". Part of it really is a garden, but mostly it was our "lawn" that was dug up. Everything is replanted, we just have to wait for it to grow back. I doubt it will all be back to normal before we move. Seems to me several countries use the word "garden" for what in Canada we would call a "yard". Funny! :) A couple of clarifications - first, it wasn’t a loud fight. It was mostly at a normal level.

Loud fight and all! You must have understood quite a bit of Spanish as you seem to know what the many subjects of conversation were. Too bad about your garden. Giving you something else to do as you're able. The kids probably enjoy planting stuff, eh? That was quite the exciting story of the work being done around your place! Loud fight and all!
