These shovels are in a friend’s garden. I think they are a very fine collection. I’ve posted a photo of them before, and this is just an update.
Row of Shovels, Updated
The Last Apple
This apple is still hanging on into January. We’ve got a pretty good windstorm coming in and I hope it survives on the tree. I like its determination.
Lupine in Leavenworth
I recently drove over to Leavenworth (Washington) to meet a group of friends for a little reunion. Leavenworth is a Bavarian-themed town just on the east side of Steven’s Pass over the North-Central Cascades. We stayed at a the Icicle Village Resort and had a great time reminiscing and laughing. We had a couple hours where we were free to wander the town, shopping, eating or taking photos. I found this nice patch of lupine … a little crop job and you can’t even see the miniature golf course just beside it.
Shovel Collection
A friend has this collection in their garden. The lesson is “don’t use your shovel as a pry bar”. Some lessons are hard to learn.
Peony Bloom
Another bloom from my garden. We have had a record-breaking cold wet spring which has stayed through June (so far). The long range forecast doesn’t look much better. But the flowers like it.
