Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It’s dinnertime. Do you know where your food came from?
I love that Sequim still has working farms. We have a grange, feed stores, and farmers who wear dirty boots and overalls because they spent the day in the field. Like so many places there is always pressure to develop and the area has lost many family farms. This bumper sticker can be seen around here: No Farms No Food. I hope we never forget this.
The Dungeness Barnhouse Bed and Breakfast isn’t on the Lavender Festival Tour, but it’s vivid purple caught my eye when making the rounds. On a non-cloudy day, the mountains would be out behind it.
I looked it up and found it listed here. Good site if you are interested in the barns in Sequim and the Dungeness Valley area.
Larry from Los Alamos Daily Photo recently visited Sequim and took some great shots. Check them out here.
The sign says “Built in 1920 by the Phillips Family. Renovated in 2008 by the Gilles Family. Available for Vacation Rental.”
According to Wikipedia, “4-H in the United States is a youth organization administered by the Cooperative Extension System of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the mission of “engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development.”[1] The four “H”‘s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The organization serves over 9 million members in the United States from ages 5 to 21 in almost 100,000 clubs[2]. 4-H clubs and related organizations now exist in many other countries as well; the organization and administration varies from country to country.”
The Clallam County Fair gives 4-H youth a chance to share with their community what they have learned. This sign is on the side of the “Cat Barn”. Do you have a 4-H group in your community?
