A Gallery: Delights & Splendors of Cascadia

I love lupine.

When I was a child, I would go morel hunting in the spring. As soon as the violets bloomed, but before the Jack in the pulpits. Violets are the same blue as lupine.

I love them too.
I have tried to grow them in my yard, but the slugs devour them...:(
 

I have tried this... but my lupines were too well integrated and not in a discrete bed to be protected by copper tape. I have used copper on my raised vegie beds, and once you have all the slugs pulled out it does keep more from coming in from outside. Now that I have flagstones around my raised beds, it takes quite a bit more effort for the slugs to get there and I find I no longer need the copper tape. :)
 
Well... tbh probably too fixated on the news of the day.
but I am just fine.

I am hoping your dear country does not break itself in the next months.

I've just been watching all of this again tonight. It's not pleasant.

At least I have soothing pictures in here to look at :).
 
Campfire Musings


Across the horizon of the Salish sea
The wind drifts lazily in the evergreens
Sol sinks in his dramatic blaze of color
Faint laughter among the boughs
In tune with the songs of night
There by the timeless campsite
The bluegray cedar aromas fill the air
As the tiny campfire comes to life
Grows slowly into the night
Surrounded by friends and family
Sharing warmth with hearts afire
In an eternal twilight by the sea
