Just think, This might have been the National Bird. Last time I was in LaConner they were lined up at the bakery early in the morning across from y hotel room, waiting for the bakery to open. These local yokels are famous around here. Considering what America has become, I think the Turkey might have been a fitting National Bird. Maybe we should change birds with each Presidency, so they are at

Yesterday afternoon I drove to Laconner to see tulips, go to Christianson's and have an ice cream cone, eat dinner. After standing in line for an oce cream cone for about an hour, I thought maybe I should open an ice cram cone place.. The line was way long. I had maple nut, my usual, it was in a fresh waffle cone and was huge. I enjoyed it but it made me late for Christianson's Nursery

No one funner, funnier, more provocative, more interesting, more beautiful, than I am when I am with myself. No one more inspiring, more adventurous, more delightful, or delighted.

I've gotten behind a bit on A New Earth, have some catching ip to do, and I hope I can catch Elizabeth Lessor, too. I've had cd's by her in the past, can't recall what now, but stories about her past and her experiences, I spoke with her once, she was delightful. Her voice is very calming, I listened to her once on a drive X country alone. I wouldn't mind meeting Elizabeth, or Tolle. Oprah,

I took these tonight in Laconner. The daffs were in bloom, I have one still to post, but fields were ablaze, I just got there late for dinner tonight (Alaskan King salmon, creme brulle for dessert, the coffee was divine. very unusual.. The Geese were stunning, too bad it began pouring rain, the fields were solid white like snow and when they took off it was a swirling menagerie of birds. Just

I haven't been watching Oprah during the live event of Eckhart Tolle, interviews about, The New Earth, on Monday nights, but I have been watching after the fact when it is a good time for me to watch. And I have been just recently listening to Elizabeth Lessor take questioners on the radio online (http://www2.oprah.com/xm/ane/ane_main.jhtml), and find this radio show, tho short, to be very

I butchered my first post, so lets see if I can get it right again. I confess the only cooking here was the pasta in the salad. What we have here, besides a big mess in the kitchen is: Pasta salad with ham Marinated spinach salad (with black grapes) Pita sandwiches of my own design, they include: Taboli with mint ( thanks to Diane reminding me how to make it) sandwiches are spread with: lotsa

I'm actually trying to get the Christmas ads off my site by removing the posts with Christmas topics, maybe this will do it.. I have a terrarium in my bistro and it had a slug in it, ( about 3.5 inches long) our common everyday washington slugs..I was gone one weekend and he got out. Silver threads were all over the carpet under the bistro. He apparently tracked back and forth looking for a

Awhile ago I was up in LaConner, and stayed at a hotel across the street from the local bakery. When I got up , and looked out my window, I saw these turkey's waiting for the bakey to open....no camera, just a camera phone, but it saved the day..

A full frig...one of the comforts of home. I took this with my phone. I was at Whole Foods in Seattle Sunday, and remembering Whole Foods in Austin in the 70's. A small, cheap rent, store that sold organic vegetables and bulk foods, honey, birkenstocks, and hippie stuff..now it is an amazing Corporation, and pricey, beautiful store, full of variety, and products, so much, I left without buying a

Ok, I admit, my peonies aren't up yet. I just thought you needed a peek of spring.. These are for Louie, my best friend in Ohio where they just had a nasty blizzard. But crocus and daffs are up, and some ground covers are blooming, and trees are blooming too. I'll post pictures, but feast on these from last summer awhile. I found this company that sells garden groupings, like hardy

I'm looking for bamboo, large bamboo that grows fast where I live. A neighbor subdivided their property, and now I have a hole in my back yard form the willow tree that was taken down that provided privacy. A new large home is going up, and it is very intrusive as all these large new homes are. I'm looking at Moso bamboo, it could possibly grow to 70 feet, and have canes of up to 8" in diameter.

Some more photos of snow up in the snow country of Washington. Umm, wish I were going again to stay awhile, if only I had a small place up there, it would be a nice wintry get away.. Icy Creek...along the road to Winthrop a river flows, and at this time it was freezing over, and had ice floats building up. Was beautiful, but I had no places to park along side the road to photograph it. But

Just waiting for a new heating system with air filtration system to be installed in this house. When I turned on the big monster heater this year, immediately I had trouble breathing,and coughing. It persists. Obviously this has been a problem ongoing, but I hadn't put it together. The cough is awful, and I can only assume the heater blew dust mites out of the vents all over the house. 19,000

I gave them my idea for the illuminated keyboard. Now I almost wish I had waited for this version, but it starts at about 1799.00. .Worth every penny I'm sure. The illuminated keyboard itself is worth a pretty price ( to me). How many years ago did I begin bugging them about illuminated keyboards? And every store I went into. Too bad I'm inventive but don't know how to put these deals
