Everett WA Urban Yogis meets Choux Choux Bakery

 Sadly no photo but today the bakery was getting wiped out as Urban  Yogis moved in. Imagining people seated in the  lotus position with a pastry in each hand and espresso  at their root chakra. . 

Who will win this battle of distractions? 

Elsewhere in Everett a craft fair with decorated cars as the central theme down the streets for a couple blocks  

Night out With the Stars

 

The blueberries leaves are turning reddish, a sign of autumn already

Reddish leaves so soon and the Stargazer lilies are almost completely open now. Their scent fills the air. 

And finally the dahlias are blooming. It’s been rainy and overcast recently. I’m fine with that.

 More spiders are out than usual. 

Seems fall is spreading itself round the yard already. 

 

Star gazers blooming finally. The air is scented with their perfume..

Tiger lilies
