Sneaks and Peeks…

Jill from Jill’s World of Research, Reaction and Millinery is visiting with us in Washington. We’ve been enjoying some of the sights of Seattle. On Friday we spent a full long day at the Lavender Festival in Sequim, Washington. I’ll share a little peek into our 2 days so far and you’ll get the full meal deal next week. I took 295 photos on our trip across the Sound to Sequim yesterday!

Here’s Jill introducing herself to the famous Fremont Troll who lives under one of our bridges in the Seattle area. That’s a VW bug he’s got one of his hands on. You can read more about our Troll here.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. We have more fun planned and are still waiting on that sunshine we’ve been promised!

Oh the Sweet Smell…

…of Lavender

Lavender and Clement Robinson
(Handefull of Pleasant Delites, 1584)

Lavender is for lovers true,

Which evermore be faine;

Desiring always for to have

Some pleasure for their paine:

And when that they obtained have

The love that they require,

Then have they all their perfect joie,

And quenched is the fire.

Next weekend is the Lavender Festival in Sequim on the Kitsap Penninsula. I’m thinking about going and checking out the fields early on Friday with hopes of taking our summer visitors there the week after the festival. I’ve never been and would like to know what to expect before I haul a car full of visitors over there. I’d also like to inquire about how long the fields are full before they are cut back.

Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.
