The Cranberries are ready!

Our area of SW Washington State is similar to the marshes of Cape Cod.  We have had cranberries growing since 1872. 

This past week, The Seattle Times did a story on the bogs just a few short blocks away from us. You can read it here.

In coastal southwestern Washington, it's time to harvest cranberries, one of the few fruits native to North America.

Steilacoom Scarecrows

I love the Scarecrows of Steilacoom, Washington. I have a secret goal to make Seaview Scarecrows.

Burger Night at The Depot Returns!

Each fall, when the tourists have left- the sun sets earlier and the weather turns crisp- The Depot Restaurant brings back Wednesday Burger Night!

We live just across the street. The wind carries the smell of grilled burgers - beef, buffalo or portobello down our long driveway and thru our 106 yr old single pane wavy glass windows.  So how can we resist?
