Angel Farm

it is time to start featuring some of the places that will be on the farm tour during the Lavender Festival, July 20-22, 2007. Angel Farm is just down the road a piece. As you can see their lavender foliage is starting to grow and it won’t be long before you can see buds starting to sprout. I could tell you all the things I love about Angel Farm, but it would probably be best to read the great story Betty Oppenheimer wrote in the link above.

At my place, I already have one variety,James Compton, in bloom. If you take care and pinch the blooms back, this one will last the summer.

I will feature another farm next week.

Pinks and Reds

These lovely plants are in the gardens at St. Joes.

Two of Clallam County's Finest

Nope…they aren’t loafing. They were at kids day for the “Touch a Truck” event. This Memorial weekend they are hot on the trail of speeders. Drive safe out there.

St. Joseph's In Sequim

In the gardens in front of St. Joe’s is this lovely statue.

The "Dock" on 101

Between Carlsborg Road and Kitchen Dick on the North side of the road is a lovely little pond with a dock. As I whiz by on my way home, I always think how pretty and peaceful the scene.

Soon to Be Built…Elk Plaza

If you don’t count the elevator, Sequim is soon to have it’s very first three story building in the downtown area. There are some senior apartments out on the west end, but this will be something new for the downtown area. the story I’ve linked appeared in our local newspaper and mentions condos on the third floor, office buildings on the second, and boutiques on the first floor. Hum…wonder what those condos will go for?

This ends my new construction series…but believe me, I’ve only scratched the surface.

Popeyes

Across the street from the unusual building, (turns out it is going to be a bank…not a steak house) a Popeyes is being built. Chicken and Biscuits…yum, yum. Too bad my doctor has convinced me to eat more veggies. I was not of the opinion we needed a Popeyes in Sequim. I guess it turns out I was wrong.

One more day of construction photos, and then I move on to another series…and hopefully my camera will come home soon. I miss it. I had forgotten how rinky dink my old one was/is.
