The water was needed for the fish, the crops, and our power generation! Here's the weather stone in the yard of Blake Sand and Gravel. It says it all... |

Landscape gardeners have made small displays of their skills in the stoneyard... like this little river flowing into a pond. The place is a pleasure to wander through. |
Last year parts of our lawn were dug up for the installation of a watering system connected to the irrigation water source - something that can be run on a timer, in the evenings and early morning when the water use is low. It's been a year now, and you'd never notice - the grass has grown in the cuts, and the lawn has healed nicely. And our neighbors have also re-done their yard, installing a gravel pad for their camper , and sculpturing the front yard,- with a lot of meticulous detail work on their part. This neighborhood looks so nice! |

Special: this Saturday marks the opening day of the Open Aire Market, the Sequim' Farmers' and crafters' Market on Cedar and Second Ave. |
|
We go to both local Farmer's Markets; the 'Early Bird' Original Farmer's Market in the Penney's parking lot runs from 7 - 10. It has started already- with such items as baked goods, handcrafts, free-range eggs, and cut flowers and plants- and rhubarb and lettuce, the earliest fruit/vegetables, of course. Between the two events, the morning is pleasantly full of browsing and shopping. |

In both markets this week's cut flowers included lilacs and camellias! And the first vegetables were available; lettuces, and other leafy greens, and rhubarb, too. Other booths sold art objects and craft items, homemade breads, spiced nuts, soaps, and lavender plants- a wonderful assortment of Sequim's productivity. |
