Surprise murals

I took my winter-grimed car to a do-it-yourself car wash recently and when I finished I drove through to a set of murals on the back of Sequim’s Museum and Art Center. I’ve been in the front door but not the back. Here was a mural titled “Nicole Brownfield Rowland,” a woman I assume is from one of our pioneer families.

Bob Matriotti and Herb Lehman are named in this mural.

And here are two unnamed folks I’m calling The Apple People. I didn’t check carefully but it doesn’t look like these murals are signed.

The Sequim Museum and Art Center is scheduled to move this summer into a new building currently under construction on North Sequim Road. I don’t know if these murals on their current Cedar Street building will move, too.

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.

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?”

Ready but waiting

I don’t think these mowers at Home Depot are going to be pressed into service anytime soon. The grass they’re meant for is still hibernating anyhow.

Meet the Beatles

Sequim’s local radio station, KSQM-FM, has an enviable collection of Beatles memorabilia. Though I loved ’em (yeah, yeah, yeah), I never accumulated these kinds of souvenirs. The display here includes small posters, magazines, buttons, music, and movies.

There were Beatles dolls.

And this is curious: a Beatles official tie tack pin. I didn’t know any Beatles fan friends who wore ties in those days, much less a tie tack.

Regardless of practicalities, I’m sure KSQM’s collection is a worthy one by any measure.

Slush

This was a parking lot I ventured into last Sunday. Our other roads looked a lot like this too. We get snow perhaps once or twice a year, a few inches at lower elevations. So we don’t have a lot of snow removal equipment. “Wait and let it melt” usually works pretty well in most cases. Not so much lately.
