Last month I posted a photo of the seed-cone-picker at the Weyerhaeuser Seed Cone Farm in Sequim. I was shocked to drive by this last week and see one of the groves being cut down. I don’t know how long a seed cone tree lasts nor have I been able to find out why they were being cut down. I am sure there is a good business reason, but it made me sad.

I started to title it “Tacky Tree” and then thought, perhaps someone has already bought this one… They play music. It reminds me of a tacky metal tree of my youth. Fortunately it didn’t stick around long, but as a collectors item, it might be worth a fortune.

Yesterday I posed the question, “What will cause three able bodied guys to stop working?”…and the answer is…one girl. I am waiting in my car at Java Joes for an afternoon latte…I roll down the window to get the perfect picture…they spot me and one of them waves. Oh, well. While not one of my best pictures, I think it is still worth posting.

As I was leaving a friends today, I noticed these rolls of “insulation” at the corner of Sequim Dungeness and Old 101. To the right is a large steel frame and a sign along the road advertising “space available”. I also found the “answer” to the question, “What will cause three able bodied guys to stop work?” Tune in tomorrow for the answer.

We had a rainy WINDY day on the Olympic Peninsula. I hear it was even worse on Whidbey Island and in Bellingham. This was in the sky in the East about 4:30 this evening. I lovely end to a nasty day.

This little arbor in a yard is about a half mile from my place. I’m always looking.
