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.

I'm making that tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought peanut brittle could be so easy. Have always avoided making it because I thought it was difficult and the weather had to be just right. I'm trying this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for tis Phillip! I made peanut brittle a couple of times the old fashoned way and decided that it was way too much work. Your method makes it look lots simpler. Off to the kitchen to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm one of my favorite things in the world. I will have to try this. I never have made it because it is so time consuming, margins for error etc. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Phillip!
Uh-oh...it could be very dangerous that I know about this...I'm a Peanut Brittle Fiend!
