Angel Farms

If you haven't guessed already "Angel Farms" is all about Lavender. We were driving through Sequim Washington and stumbled upon this beautiful farm. Rows and rows of purple....along with the odd bumble bee!

Road trip to Seattle...

Roger finally got some time off and came down for five days to visit. He arrived on August 6th in the early evening, and what made it extra special was the fact that it was his birthday! Walking along the quiet roads of Ardmore with our coffee or red wine (depending on the time of day)  and the dog is how we spent a lot of our time.
We also took a weekend trip over to the U.S. We arrived in Port Angeles early Saturday morning from Victoria and over the two days poked around Port Townsend and even Seattle.

Wow...gotta save my tip money from the next ski season and head back there to do some serious Seattle shopping! 

Salt Spring Market

I took the weekend off from studying, loaded up my Westie with red wine, books, knitting and headed over to Salt Spring Island. Was a short ferry ride on the long weekend, and the boat was packed. Found my little reserved campsite and spent the next two days touring the Island, and walking along Fern Point beach. On Saturday morning I did get up at the crack of dawn and headed down to the famous Saturday market. I bought a few veggies for dinner and some wonderful stinky cheese to go with my red wine for that night. Was a well deserved get-a-way and enjoyed the quirky character the Island had to offer. For such a small Island they can sure grow BIG vegetables...must be the soil.
