Must have been about 1AM, and a fresh batch was coming out. Decadant, delicious, and in the most....let us say, unusual shapes. Northern Washington is beautiful, but I sorely miss my Oregon.gaia3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745007871865403572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-75246095800478539562010-03-03T15:22:17.039-06:002010-03-03T15:22:17.039-06:00I've got my fingers crossed that the weather w...I've got my fingers crossed that the weather will be civilized in Oregon next month when we go to sample the delights of Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland and the wine producers afterwards....<br /><br />Just to drive everyone berserk, I'm sitting outdoors in a cafe in Horseshoe Bay waiting for a ferry to take me to Vancouver Island.

We didn't get a heck of a lot of snow, but it was cold and cloudy a lot of the time. Even the cats were cranky sometimes. <br /><br />The snow has melted just enough here that I can see where some of the ferns I planted last year really ARE evergreen under the snow.

They're getting into full swing now, and are absolutely beautiful.<br /><br />We also are starting to get Periwinkles blooming around the building I work in, and my mother's garden is getting ready for the tulip blitz soon to come.

...Blast. Couldn't post a link to save myself. <br /><br />As for the photos, thanks! I'm still furious that camera was stolen in the last move. I had put it in my sock drawer (which was shrink-wrapped shut) and it was gone when we moved in. <br /><br />Sigh.Aunt Messyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424781871244170075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-6803234081854832102010-03-01T20:48:37.575-06:002010-03-01T20:48:37.575-06:00It's an Epson Perfection V30 scanner.
