Compared to the branches all over the road I saw as I drove in to Sunland today, this puny little dead branch that fell and knocked my bird feeder cockeyed, seems like nothing. But now the clean up begins. They are forecasting another storm on Sunday, but nothing like the last one.
The Sunshine Cafe is located on the south side of Washington Street in Downtown Sequim. The folks are friendly; the cuisine is hardy, and the peanut butter pie is to die for. You will find lots of locals who frequent the cafe. With all the rain and wind we have had of late, we could use somemore sunshine.
Oliver’s regular vet, Dr. Melissa Smith, had the day off. Dr. Stall gave him his annual exam and gave us the news we already knew…Oliver is getting old. However, we forecast many more days of sunning on the deck and dreaming about catching shrews, mice, and snakes. His arthritis prevents him from actually engaging in any of these activites.
This is a photo of the resident male in my home. Oliver, a 16 year old tabby, will be featured in some up coming photos. Oliver, more like a dog than a cat, likes everyone and has never met a lap he didn’t like.
I was playing with the features on my camera..trying to understand how to shoot in black and white. I like this shot of two little hands diving for the snack bowl. The drawing in the foreground is a present for me from one of the children to take home and display on my refrigerator.
Sequim is known for it’s “Banana Belt” climate. Our Chamber of Commerce brags that we have have more Sunny Days than anywhere else in western Washington. They used to post the number of days we had sunshine…now they post the hours. “1551.4 hours this year 1272.9 hours last year”.
This picture, shows the entrance to a local subdivision that boasts a clubhouse and golf. “Sunland” is appropriately named and a lovely place to live.
A break in the storm allowed me to capture this picture of clouds lying below the tops of the mountain. We have more rain forcast for the weekend, with Monday suppose to be very windy.
