We volunteered to be servers in the truly wonderful FareStart program in Seattle. It helps at-risk and homeless people learn restaurant skills and turn their lives around. They have a guest chef every Thursday. This sign was in the kitchen.

Browsing through my archives, I found this image of how the horse pasture next to our backyard used to be a few years ago. I miss Tawny. Now a big house is being built there.

Haven’t posted something from my garden in a bit. The columbines are looking lovely this year. I know that the fertilizing I did earlier helped a lot, since I didn’t do it last year and was sorry.

Had a great time vending at the Plant Sale at the Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley, WA last weekend. This view of red Japanese maples in the afternoon light looked almost like fall colors.

I was at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory last week. These pretty tropical flowers, which I can’t begin to describe, are maybe an inch tall (2.5 cm). Anyone know the name?

Seattle does have a lot of gray skies, but we can handle it when they look like this.
Plenty of rain in these clouds over the Seattle skyline

At my favorite flower haunt, Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, the Cactus House display is full of flowers. These tiny ones make me happy.

On May 1, I was walking on Capital Hill in Seattle and happened across this Native American ceremony. Not sure exactly what was going on, but there was chanting and much fragrant smudge smoke. Not your everyday kind of thing!
