Going Farmin'... well sort of

Toni and I have started a weekly routine of getting organic fresh greens and vegetables from a local community supported agricultural farm.   The one we picked out is Chinook Farms.  This "farm"  now sits where hundreds of planted poplars existed (supposedly for a local pulp factory).  You will see them in the pictures below.   Uniquely this farm land is considered "fallow."   It has never been used to raise any crops.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our salads and vegetables.   Imagine crisp and flavorable greens (lettuces and spinach of all kinds), the sweetest radishes I have ever had, pototoes, beans, peas... you name it.   So enjoy the pictures.

Picture of the poplars, a maple leaf, Chinook Farms looking South, a waxy yellow flower, the sun peaking around the a tree, and the Subi hanging out at the farm.   Shot this with my new Canon SLR... cool huh? Like always... you can double click on the photos for a larger view.

 

Toni has her next oncology appointment on July 12th... update to follow.

Toni and Bryan visit NW Washington... almost the most NW point in the lower 48

Here are some snaps of our trip to the Port Angeles/Sequim area of Washington.
Two words... Pretty and Wet.

A cute cafe (good food too) along the route to Port Angeles.  "Subi" our Subaru Outback was awesome... 31 mpg. 

Above and below:  Colette's B & B.  Our room was in the left house on the right side.

Crescent Lake... really blue and beautiful.

The view from our bedroom  window... Toni takes in a look at the Strait of Juan de Fuca. (Victoria, British Columbia is 18 miles directly across from here). 

Some of the flora ... unbelievable... this stuff is 20 feet + tall. 

A pair of nesting eagles were just 30 yards from our window. 

We walked the Hoh Rain Forest... prehistoric and serene. 

So, we did ok on this trip.   Other than the rain... fun.
