Students at Sequim High School make these flower baskets every year and they’re hung along our downtown Washington Street. They’re pretty even on a gloomy day and I hate to see them come down at the end of summer.
Non-buyer’s remorse
I saw this table full of beautiful pottery at the Farmer’s Market last weekend. The platters caught my eye but I couldn’t justify the impulse. Now I’m home with a photo full of temptation. I just may have to go back.
Buck Ellard
Musician Buck Ellard has played a number of gigs around the area lately. I caught him at the Sequim Farmer’s Market last Saturday.
Buck played an electric fiddle and we enjoyed a smokin’ version of “Orange Blossom Special.”
Summer work
It’s hay time. It seems simple enough. Cut it. Bale it. Done.
The weather doesn’t always cooperate and wet hay isn’t good.
“Make hay while the sun shines.” Easier said than done sometimes.
Dances with cows
We ventured down an unfamiliar road and found a herd of cows.
I remembered that I’d recently seen a video about how much a herd of cows liked music being played for them (click here or here if you’d like to see it for yourself). I teased DH that he should serenade them. As I moved toward the fence to shoot DH rendered a very compelling series of “m-o-o-o-s.” No music. Just a friendly hello. This was just one of the cows who enthusiastically responded.
And no matter how much I tried to give her some slack this cow simply looked grumpy to me. I guess we all have those days.
Independence Day
It’s Independence Day in the U.S.A. and Old Glory is being flown near and far.
I recently was told that our local Lion’s Club sets up and takes down flag displays like this around Sequim. I haven’t been able to verify that nor to find any details but it’s a rather nice service. It pains me to see flags flown improperly at night and in poor weather.
Change of fortune
This log home looks as if it was well on its way to completion and then…who knows? It appears to have sat, open to the elements, for a while.
