Last weekend the North Olympic Model Railroaders held a show and sale at the grange. It was great fun to go and see the trains from the very small gauge up to the larger models. I believe the gentleman told me the ones in the thumbnail with the tree are an F scale. They even had a play room for the little ones. I think everyone had a good time.

Old Truck

I’m on the way to the Grange on Saturday to check out the train show (more tomorrow) when I spotted this old truck parked in a yard. I love the arrangement. It just made it look like fall. The apples and the barn in the background were the perfect touch.

PS. Happy 75th Birthday Bill Burnside! Many happy returns of the day.

Just down the road, at the corner of Kitchen-Dick and Old Olympic Highway, is the Weyerhaeuser Sequim Seed Orchard. Once a year you see these funny little machines all over with seed pickers at the controls. The seed cones are all picked by hand. For some reason they don’t pick all of them. It’s fun to watch.

On the back road to my house I spotted these bovines milling around. Tomorrow, come back and check out a “seed picker”

House of learning in Sequim, WA
Today I am poaching on Jelistar’s territory by posting this picture of the entry way to the new Longhouse on the Peninsula Community College Campus. On our field trip last Tuesday, we were able to go inside and take a peek. The official opening was on Monday . As you enter, there is Native American art work displayed in the foyer. (thumbnails)

One would think I am really hard up when I end up posting a picture of a worm…but it was after the storm on Tuesday…they were all over the ground and this one was a big one…couldn’t resist.

I happened on this pretty rainbow Tuesday afternoon. 

I was tagged by Kim of Seattle and didn’t get the information on my page until late afternoon. If you want to know more about me than you might have gleaned from my profile and previous posts, (Is there anyone who doesn’t know I’m I’m crazy about my grandkids?) take a look at yesterday.
