Wood is my totem. I love touching it, carving it, warming my home with it, nurturing and admiring it as it grows — and — yes, I’m a tree hugger!

My dear neighbor, Carolyn has a lovely bed of mini-roses. As a thank you for a neighborhood party I hosted on Saturday, she brought me this sweet posy.

~ Cee’s Oddball Photo Challenge ~ More Paths and Trails! ~

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Lindy Le Coq

While exploring the delta of Salmon Creek as it flows into Conconully Reservoir,(near Okanogan, WA — USA), I saw this sign — perfect for a COB, I thought!

In March and April the Discovery trail at Long Beach, WA is flooded, as the marshlands return to life. Anyone who has a beagle knows they are not at all fond of water. Still, the lure of all that vacant beach sand to run along and roll in, helped Jello overcome her discomfort!

I love exploring in the wilderness — especially when there is a path that leads somewhere and a way to return home. Here are some favorites!

The Breakers, Long Beach, WA — USA

Black-eyed Susan, Cone Flower and Hydrangea are the dominant eye-catchers in my garden today.

Summer is hitting us like a sledge hammer this week, so my front yard Hydrangeas will get toasted. Luckily, my home is air-conditioned — whew!

Thanks to Susan at Rambling in the Garden for hosting this weekly challenge!

Anyone for lounging in the blackberry brambles?

Things are warming up in the Pacific Northwest, USA, with temperatures predicted above 100° f (~38° c) by Wednesday — unusual around these parts!

~ Creating A Garden ~ WPC: Satisfaction ~

Posted on July 29, 2017 by Lindy Le Coq

There is something very gratifying about nurturing plants and having them thrive.

Lonicera sempervirens ‘Major Wheeler’

Weigala

Mexican Orange

I feel the same pleasure as the birds I encourage to become residents in my landscape bring their fledges to the feeders and continue to keep my gardens bug-free! (https://wordpress.com/post/lindylecoq.wordpress.com/16094)

~ Fire In The Sky ~ Just Another Sunset ~

Posted on July 28, 2017 by Lindy Le Coq

Over the past week I have been in a place where connectivity is ruled by nature, not the net, so I have been remiss in posting and responding. Please accept my apology.

On my last night at Crescent Creek, the sun was setting in a new moon sky. There were no fires on the land about me, but oh — there was fire in the sky!
