The promenade was crowded with others out enjoying the afternoon sun as we walked around Squalicum Harbor and Zuanich Point Park, then on to the marina and through the Hotel Bellwether development. On the weekends, we can purchase fresh, wild Alaskan salmon directly from this boat at the dock.
Still the middle of what should be winter, looking around, it seemed a bit difficult to believe that it was only February. While other parts of our country seem to be getting dumped on, week after week, one snow storm after another, here we have unseasonably warm temperatures forcing the camellias to full bloom in the garden in front of the Bellingham Yacht Club, and other fruit trees are beginning to blossom.

What a beautiful day for Valentine's Day!
That's where we got our deer fencing last year. It's working out quite well. Go recycling!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Now that I've doubled my garden space at the Happy Valley Gardens, I'm b-a-c-k for more.
ReplyDeleteWhile visiting the Orcas Island farmers market last summer, I would often see a booth with all kinds of things made from fish nets - but the crafter said he used brand new nets. Seems like we under-utilizing this wonderful recycling opportunity. You're so crafty and clever, can you help figure out ways to keep those nets from ultimately going to a landfill. Could we make shopping bags, hammocks, plastic lid holders, toy holders, book marks, costumes, or any other useful things with those discarded nets?
