We’re getting an addition to our local cancer center. It will increase space for infusion rooms and offices.
It’s nice that Olympic Medical Center is able to raise funds to do this. It’s too bad we need it.

Bouquet mania
Walk into most all purpose craft stores and you’ll be met with overwhelming masses of rainbow flowers. They’re a temptation for anyone with a brown thumb, scent allergies, or the desire for instant gratification. And they won’t die off in a few days.
I don’t know. It’s just that after a while maybe they just get, you know, too perfect. And a little dusty. Maybe I’m too fickle for fake.
Memory lane
The Co-Op Farm & Garden has a good selection of all manner of things, including toys. And when I was a kid Radio Flyer was the brand to own.
Some tricycles have changed a bit. But I’m not sure I have. That stake sided wagon on the right looks like just the ticket for gardening.
Theme Day: Purple
Today’s City Daily Photo Theme Day topic is “Purple.” And you don’t have to look far in Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”) to find it. Folks around here have declared it the Lavender Capital of North America and by mid-summer there’s plenty of purple to go around. This is Kitty B’s Lavender, one of our local farms.

Just in time
One of our historic barns is getting a new lease on life, and not a moment too soon.
Before our heavier than usual snows in February this machinery arrived at the barn used by the Lavender Connection to support an obviously sagging roof. Failing shingles were removed. Then it snowed…a lot. The weight of snow would likely have caused collapse.
Bit by bit the roof is being repaired and replaced. It’s a big job, and no doubt a hit on a pocketbook of any size.
I took this shot in 2017. It was clear even then that its days were numbered. It’s very nice to see it brought back to useful life.
Let’s do lunch
DH had wanted to go to Sequim Kabob House for ages. We finally decided the moment had come. Since there was so much we hadn’t tried we ordered a platter that gave us some of everything. Actually it was two platters. Part 1 is above, an array of “starters” from falafels and hummus to baba ganoush and pita bread.
Here’s Part 2. The food was so good I kept forgetting to take pictures. So the shish kebabs have been attacked. They arrived with delicious pieces of lamb, chicken, and beef along with rice and grilled peppers, tomatoes, and onions.
Need I say we pretty much skipped dinner that night?
Does not compute
Uhm….isn’t the point of a” sidewalk sale” to, uh, have it outside… you know, on the sidewalk?
Otherwise, isn’t it just called a “sale?”
