We’ve had plenty of rain. One salvation is that it has generally passed through in squalls or storms followed by clearing skies and, often enough, rainbows.
Local food
Irresistible play on our local name.
If you don’t get it you may not know how to pronounce “Sequim.” It’s pronounced Skwim. Or perhaps you’re unfamiliar with kimchi, Korea’s national fermented vegetable dish. Kimchi, like other fermented foods (such as sauerkraut or pickles), is rich in probiotics, good bacteria that stimulate beneficial microorganisms that help keep your gut healthy.
And no. I haven’t tried it. Yet.
Her cave?
The local paper had a special section recently that highlighted “she sheds,” the feminine alternative to man caves. A few days later I came across this sweet little outbuilding. The setting is nicely landscaped and the building itself has a cute vibe that would inspire shed envy.
She sheds are where the lady of the house might retreat to creative pursuits. Crafts, artwork, sewing. Stuff without motor oil, sawdust and the like.
Misty valley
DH pointed out the view of this misty valley to me the other day. The photo gods were smiling; I even found a place to pull over and take a shot.
Alternative window sticker
Most of us have seen the stickers in the back windows of cars. You know, the stick father, mother, kids and animals that all line up and make a cute family. Well, this isn’t one of them.
Derelict
There’s something about derelict houses that always arouses curiosity. What happened? Why is it empty? Who lived here? If walls could talk.
Though rundown this is a large, nice piece of property. I can imagine an active life lived here.
Theme Day: Where I belong
This photo tells you a little about the place where I belong, Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”). It’s a small town on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State U.S.A. Rather than recite details of what this place is, I’ll tell you this: I lived most of my life in one of the most arguably beautiful places in the world, the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’ve lived here, in Sequim, for six years. I wake up each day eager to see the view out my windows. Yesterday I saw four bald eagles in flight. People wave as you drive by. Those mountains, above, anchor me and give me a sense of place. Is this where I belong? You can bet on it.
