Another month has passed by. Hard to believe. My one remaining Bells of Ireland (Moluccella laevis) from seed that Sue (Junebug) sent me. I know it's late but I'm here!
This is a small piece of the Pilchuck Tree Farm I live in/near/under. It is several thousand acres of wonderfully managed trees. Open to hikers, horsebackriding (only April to november for horses) and bicyclers no motors allowed. There are many logging roads and trails and beautiful vistas. This tree farm was started in the 40s and 50s by a visionary who knew there was a better way to log than just cut 'er all down. Selective logging and replanting. Anyway I live somewhere in there---up and to the right. I took these pictures down the hill on a road call Starbird Rd. I like that name.
Kylee and shannon went to a 3 day event in gaming called O-MOK-SEE. It was in Langley on Whidbey Island. Shannon is starting a young horse and she said the horse did well. "At least we made clean runs" she said and that is what matters in starting a horse. Kylee did well, she placed 5th over all and got a Halter and she placed in 8 events and got 8 medals. this year medals instead of ribbons.
