Skagit Valley Tulips

It's been pretty breezy in LaConner. We went twice last week.

 My daughter, Daphne, was visiting.

 Thursday we were almost blown away..

... but it didn't stop us from having a Snow Goose Produce Ice Cream Cone.

We didn't buy tulips then, we went back Sunday before she left Monday 

morning to get them and found Tulip Town to be

 most expensive, in both fees to gain entry as well 

as for tulips, so we found 

another stand to purchase our tulips.

There was a long line at Snow Goose that day for ice cream cones 

that are renown in the area.

A large waffle cone for $3.00.

We got to see flocks of snow geese as well, which she had never seen, 

and they were swarming. 

It was wonderful to share that with her.

The Western Garden Book is THe Garden book to have. I love the chapter on problem areas, such as plants for wind screens or privacy, etc.
I have used this book for years, way back when I had my landscape business and before.
Highly recommended!
