Okay,  that’s a stretch but I didn’t get out today so this is what I have.  It was a good day for homemade soup.

Pat (site regular) mentioned Del’s Feed & Farm Supply last month and I wanted to go check it out.  I needed a new dog bed for my older dog so I checked the place out today and I thought it was a cool store.  Friendly help, smelled great, lots of dog treats and toys.  They didn’t have the bed I was looking for, it was a specific one.  But I definitely didn’t walk away empty handed and I’ll be back to check it out in the future.

 

Two months ago we saw this man on the street corner by Walmart with a sign saying Vet and asking for help.  My husband said that’s so messed up his having to do that.  Over the last two weeks, I’ve seen him on corners in Port Angeles and Sequim and then I took this picture yesterday at Safeway here.    When I lived in Portland, there were people with signs on so many corners and you were warned it was a scam.  That they’d make more money than you did and then someone picks them up at the end of the day and they’d count the take.  I didn’t see people on the corners here until the last couple years and you don’t see it very often.  I also see a young one who has his dog with him (the dog back in Portland would bring in more money, we are softies for animals).  When I see them I don’t know what to do.  Are they legit or scamming…hard to know.  And so part of me really wants to help out and the other part doesn’t want to be scammed.  What do you do?

It is rainy and dreary out today, yet when driving to town we saw several fields getting watered and it got me curious as to why they’d water on a day it’s raining?  I’ve seen it happen on other rainy days too. Is it just on a timer? Is there something they are all spraying besides water?
