Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
A Roadside Farm Field with the Olympics / Hurricane Ridge in the Distance
As residents of this incredible community, we’re blessed to have views that most Washingtonians and many others can only dream about.
And on this particular day, I found this farm field off of Old Olympic Highway to evoke nothing but quintessential Sequim. Although dark clouds may cover the landscapes, we have the “blue hole” to focus on, and May flowers on the horizon as well.
Enjoy!
Thank you to Leslie Wright for bringing it to my attention that the building on Schmuck Road is indeed still standing, at least for now. Please accept my apologies to all of you who enjoy seeing it as much as I do…even though I missed it somehow this time!
Sooo, I’m not sure how to say this but, my post this morning is totally inaccurate – so fear not dear readers, the building is STILL THERE, at least for now, as is the other smaller shed.
And although there is a bulldozer and other heavy equipment on the property (see below) as well as a lot of debris (aside from the blue bins), I’m blaming my mistake on the recent time change, but please forgive me nonetheless!
And…best wishes for a great day!
It seems that on any given day one can drive through Sequim and/or the surrounding area and see calves being born.
This particular Jersey was born in February, 2023, at the Dungeness Creamery, and I suspect that by now, she’s providing milk and cream to our local population, or perhaps she traveled to another farm with a new owner or family.
Regardless, spotting her nursing, after hobbling and shaking to reach her mama after emerging into the cold was just the kind of visual motivation I needed to press on with my day, undeterred by any fears of failure, or reservations of acceptance.
And knowing that mama’s there to assist along the way, either in spirit or in the flesh, is often the ultimate motivation.
