Around These Parts
June 03, 2015
Is Sprummer a word? Or Summing? You know, that time where it's not quite spring anymore, but not exactly summer yet. If you live in Western Washington, that sort of describes the springs we've been having for the last couple of years. A master gardener friend of ours says that we're running about 2 months ahead of schedule this year. Hopefully that means lots of produce, sooner rather than later!
For a while there, I was holding my breath a bit, afraid that a frost would come and kill all these early blossoms, like the strawberries. You never know what's going to happen around here in the spring. We won't have a single snowflake all winter, then have our version of a snow storm in March after the apple trees have decided to blossom (that was a sad year for apples). So far this year, things have been warm, mild, and wonderful. Around these parts, we've been enjoying a mixture of spring and summer activities.
Doing some art outside, painting signs....
Taking lots of walks, and finding sweet discoveries like this....
...and this...
...and this! This is a duck egg. Did you know duck eggs came in Robin's Egg Blue? I didn't. (A friend pointed out that maybe robin's eggs come in Duck's Egg Blue. That blew my mind.)
Flea Markets have begun!
Ice cream! It's not too early for ice cream. (I think it is always a good time for ice cream).
Warm sunny weather is great for staining! Staining some new signs....
How are you enjoying your Sprummer/Summing??
