Fat Geese at a Nearby Garden And Chrysanthemums from Mine..

Histamine reactions often create difficulty eating foods for many people.
I successfully use Isagenix.
The product has milk and I have no problems with it.
It's from New Zealand and doesn't have the additives ours does.

Chrysanthemums in the mail

We'll be getting our Japanese chrysanthemums in a few days and it's not as warm as we'd hoped it would be. Fact is, it's freezing.
These require considerable cultivation. But they are worth it.
We just planted new Hellebores with the few from last year which are flourishing this year.
Look for photos later.

Garden Slideshow

My amazing garden, planted mid June, up in 2 weeks, and in a month was unbelievable...however, I have no blooms on my delicata squash, or zucchini, have 2 tomatoes only, and well,,hmm. My chamomile blooming, harvested lettuce, cilantro, basil, radish...but still in a month I need full grown squash! Etc. I have hardly watered this garden.

Just hangin out waiting for the local bakery to open

Turkeys at Bakery..6 AM



LaConner, destination, 30 minutes away (NW of Mukilteo)
I enjoy looking for these guys on every trip to Laconner.
One day I stayed at the Planters Hotel, and across the street from the hotel and there they were waiting on the sidewalk for the bakery to open at 6 AM. I managed to get some video on them later in the upper neighborhood where they hang out most of the time, thought you might enjoy some gooblin today..
Rain again today,, chilly air, my garden, still waiting for the sun to shine after being planted yesterday.
