Master Gardeners

Yesterday I attended a worm composting class presented by the Master Gardeners in Sequim.  I didn’t think the worm compost bins would make a particularly attractive picture, so I went with this one.  The sign by this guy says “Meet Sluggo.  Sluggo is a NW native Banana Slug (Ariolimax columbianus).  Unlike his fellow banana slugs who only eat detritus (dead stuff), Sluggo survives on your donations.  He loves coins but is really crazy about green leafy dollar bills.  Sluggo is always hungry!  You are welcome to feed him as much as you like (he is NOT on a diet).  Sluggo uses your donations to help maintain his garden home” 

The class was very informative and well attended.  I enjoyed it and walking around the gardens after it was through.

Fishing for Dad

 

Father’s Day is coming up and my Dad is difficult for me to buy for so I went to the Fisherman’s Outlet to check it out.  I had seen the place before but had never stopped by until now.  There was a nice man working there and he helped me, answered my questions and hooked me up with appropriate lures and even a treat for my dogs who were waiting in the truck.   Hopefully Dad will like the lures, if not I’ll have to remind him of his old words “it’s the thought that counts”

Dirty Dog

It was time for a bath yesterday.   The weather is nowhere near warm enough to bathe my dogs outside so we headed to the Doggie Dunk at the Red Carpet Car Wash where all you need to bring is a towel and a sense of humor (unless you want your own products).

Peninsula Driftwood Artists

I read in the Sequim This Week newspaper that the Peninsula Driftwood Artists were having a show at the Guy Cole Convention Center so I went to the exhibit yesterday and loved it.  I was in awe of their creations and by the Pacific Northwest Wood Artisans, who also had works on display.  If you are local, they will be there Saturday and Sunday too if you want to check it out (it’s free).  They also have crafts to buy, a raffle going on to win items and I met some really nice and interesting people (Dick Conger, your birdhouse was really cool).  That’s one (of many) great things about Sequim, so many opportunities to get out there and see and do fun things and meet people.  If anyone wants more pictures from the show just leave a comment and I’ll email them to you.
