Petunias and Marigolds – FOTD August 23

Aug 23, 2020

Have a blessed day! I love my colorful flowers. It’s a mishmosh of annuals and perennials but I am happy with the colors it produced since Spring. I’m going to miss it all when Summer ends.

I’ve learned a bit more about gardening this year. More so than ever before. I can’t wait to plan for next year.

I love this quote. Although I kind of wish 2020 was a little more on the normal side, this year has really given me some time to reflect, research and work towards an amazing future.

This is a picture taken from the Obstruction Point Trail on Hurricane Ridge, WA.

Dahlia – FOTD August 22

Aug 22, 2020

It’s a wet morning here. The skies are slowly clearing up. Rain is great but we’re hoping for a longer summer here in Washington State. We cherish and make most of our sunny, summer days because we know the cold and rainy days of Fall are just around the corner.

Cool Slug Living the Life

Aug 21, 2020

Apparently slugs like to keep cool too. This was taken on our hottest day in Washington State so far this summer. He was living the life.

While on our camping trip in Sequim, WA we decided to make a quick trip to the river at the Railroad Bridge Park to cool off before making the trip back home. We were quite surprised to see this slug just hanging out in the water. At first we thought it was a piece of dog poo. While we despise slugs, because they wreak havoc on our garden, we were happy to see it was just a slug. We were wondering if he was finding his lunch or if he was just trying to keep cool. Maybe both.

Have you ever come across strange encounters with slugs?

This is a picture that I took on one of our trips to Portland, OR a few years ago. This beautiful rose was at the Washington Park – International Rose Test Garden.

Let’s Get Motivated Photo #9

This photo was taken at our last camping trip in Sequim, WA. We camped in our travel camper at the Elks Lodge. We were so excited to see bunnies everywhere when we arrived. They were up early and were so determined to find their food. Some didn’t finish hopping around ’til it got dark. Busy little bodies! It was hard to get a clear shot of them because they move so fast.

Our white asters are finally opening up. Slowly but surely. They are so pretty when they are in full bloom.

Berry Picking – FOTD August 18

Aug 18, 2020

During our camping trip in Sequim, WA over the weekend we decided to pay another visit to Graymarsh Berry Farm. This time their Blackberries and Blueberries were ready for picking. We decided to hand pick blackberries for the experience and purchase already picked blueberries. It’s always a fun time gathering the best of the beautifully ripened berries. The blackberries we picked were from thornless bushes. I didn’t know there was such a thing as thornless blackberry bushes. Learned something new!

I was able to also get a few shots of their small garden of sunflowers.
