at home
When I had looked out my west window after dark last night, I could see bright lights that I should not have been able to see. Today’s daylight showed that our boat shapes and the styrofoam boat had blown over in the wind, along with the sides and back of an empty compost bin.
Allan fixed it, with some help from me holding it in place while he fastened it.
Although still deeply affected by having finished The Minack Chronicles, I returned to real life and used a pleasant afternoon to enjoy the garden…
…and to plant some new plants from Far Reaches Farm, Digging Dog, and Cistus nurseries.
Skooter helped.
The greys had no interest in being outdoors.

We did some more tidying of the east strip at the Ilwaco fire station…
…and at the Ilwaco post office.

I almost skimmed past and did not read the tag on what I assumed was a liriope, but it was variegated mondo grass! Liriope oft times comes through the winter here looking scraggly, unlike mondo, so I will be on the look out for this plant.

It looks like it will be quite handsome.

I love to see spring peeking through! When the foot of snow melts here, maybe I’ll see some daffodil bulb tips reaching up. Fingers crossed.

I bet Skooter is a good helper. 🙂 I love those photos of the greys snuggling!
The weather is still wildly oscillating down here in our area.

Thank you, we even thought it was spring, and then…winter cold weather (well, for the Pacific NW, not THAT coild) seems to have returned for another few days. I love winter but even I am tired of it now.
