Totem or Story Poles

A house of Totems in Toppenish, Wa.


In the heart of the Yakima Valley in Washington State, Toppenish lies inside the boundaries of the Yakama Nation’s Reservation

Off with their heads!!!

Since the tulips grown in Skagit Valley are actually grown for the bulb before the tulip dies they must be beheaded so the bulb can develop to be the best it can be. Bulbs from the Skagit Valley are sold all over the world. the petals are almost immediately picked up so the rows remain clean and germ free.

Friday Night Sunset

Ah Sunshine.......

.....where is thy warmth.

Today was the hottest day of the year. It was 68degreesF. We have had such a cold and wet Spring and almost everyone was out in shorts, tank top and flip flops. Well it seemed that way.

The horses love lying in the sun soaking up the warmth. MB

Heading down the road

I'll be gone a few days. Heading for Toppenish Washington to watch Kylee ride in High School rodeo.
Pictures later. MB

More Tulips

The same Tulips I took pictures of the other day. Maybe if the rain would stop and the sun could show itself we would have more and fuller fields of flowers. MB

Mama Popped!!

Mama finally had her baby. Remember I posted a pic of poor Preggers mare (Tuesday April 5th). Well baby must have been born last night or early this morning. One pic I took this morning (the second one) and the other I took this earky evening.
I bet she is saying "WHEW"!! MB

Back to work

The soil is finally drying out and the farmers are getting out and turning the soil. This guy was just putting along.

First bloom

This is my very first bloom on the Camellia Bush. We have had such a cold and very wet Spring that everythin in the plant family seems to be late.

Also raindrops on the Bleeding Heart foliage. Kinda pretty. MB

Nesting Hawk

This is the nesting Hawk I pictured before. Today he/she is sitting beside the nest. Look how the tree is starting to bud out. MB

Turkey talk

I'm a turkey, big and fat.
I spread my tail.
I walk like that.
Each day's corn I will not miss,
And when I talk, I sound like this:
GOBBLE! GOBBLE! GOBBLE!
