It's fall-ing


Some new hydrangeas I got this year.

The little Japanese maple. I've pruned it so much, but not this year.
 It has created a very sort of lumpy look that widens out, and I like it a lot.
It's the largest in the neighborhood, very full of character..
And it has grown so much due to being pruned underneath.


It really has a very alive appearance!

The Insistent Gourd Vessel

e
This is an older piece of mine, an old favorite which I didn't sell.
I'll post pics of the top, and maybe you'll see why it might become my pumpkin for halloween.

These glads were cheap at the grocery store. I had not had flowers in a long time.
I like the way they mix with the cherry blossom kimono and the silver and red kimono..

Latte stands of my area....

This one doesn't exist anymore. It was at the Snohomish pumpkin patch.
 I used to go there every year, taking Daisy. I miss that rascally kid!

This one is in Arlington WA
Very cute, it perks you right up!
This one has potential, Maybe painted like a coffee bag?

This is one which started a new era in not very creative latte stands.

 It's close to where I live.


In Snohomish, it was temporary.

Lake Crescent Lodge

Around 1930 members of Congress proposed the establishment of a large national park encompassing the central, mountainous region of the Olympic Peninsula, and, as a result, the Lodge received its most notable guest. To assess the sylvan beauty firsthand, President Franklin D. Roosevelt journeyed to the Peninsula in the fall of 1937. The Lodge welcomed him, his guards, and other political leaders the evening of September 30th. It is speculated, though not officially documented, that he spent the night there as well. As a result of his journey around the Peninsula, the President emphatically signed Olympic National Park into existence in 1938. Cottages built in the following decade were consequently named the Roosevelt Cabins.


Opens in May, Closes in Late October.

Ahhh, home at last! Lake crescent lodge!!!

I wish. I wish. I wish. I could at least rent a room for a year to write here!!!

Lake crescent Lodge, this morning


Taken from Our room..
The ducks quacking out the window early this morning made me think my daughter was calling. Her names Daphne. The kids teased her with Daffy duck, of course! So I made that her ringer on my phone.
The room looks warm compared to the lake and fog outside creating a feeling that's just warm n cozy.
Sure, we would love to live here. !!!
