Clark County Mini-Tour
It is a rare rainy day here in August (or more accurately, a wet, drizzly day). That means a break from watering and a good chance to catch up on blogging and other computer-related tasks. Before I continue with my England tour highlights, I wanted to share photos from this past Sunday's mini-tour of four gardens here in Clark County (an event sponsored by HPSO - Hardy Plant Society of Oregon). I saw three of the gardens on Sunday. I had already visited the fourth one, Lynne Heidsiek's native habitat garden, when she was part of the Study Weekend tour that we were on. Our first stop was the marvelous shade garden of Margaret Stapenhorst. A bluestone patio is surrounded by towering mature trees that shade a woodland garden. There was a fern table and a moss garden, as well as garden art by Steve Farris. Loved, loved the waterfall. This is what I'd like to do in our front garden, but I don't know if we have the room. Just a few streets over is the garden of Eloise and Bo...
They look delicious...and I can't wait to check out your cooking blog! Who knew? ;)
ReplyDeleteThey look sooo good. I don't bake nearly as much as I used to. My grandson will be visiting next week and I think he would love the chocolate ones

ReplyDeleteyay a baking blog! Have you tried the banana chocolate chip espresso muffins from the Baked cookbook? They are my go-to recipe for muffins.

ReplyDeleteLove chocolate. I had read your post earlier on the MAM blog and copied it to make them later. I have figs coming in, fig and choc muffins? I'm getting tired of cereal.
ReplyDeleteJen, I love the "Baked" cookbook. It has been a while since I've made anything from it.
ReplyDeleteMary, a friend gave me some figs and I've been trying to figure out how to use them in a recipe.
ReplyDeletePhillip, I agree with Lisa. I would be as big as a house too. you stay so slim! Muffins, cookies and Pizza? If I try to eat ANYTHING I enjoy I gain 5 or 6 pounds as punishment. LOL My metabolism must hate me. I sincerely hope you are gettting this good rain.
