Since it is a rainy evening, I'm not able to garden by flashlight tonight, and I'm in want of a little distraction, I thought I'd get started sharing some of the progress I've made in my yard this year.

First though, I will set the stage a little as others have done on their virtual tours. I live on an island in the Puget Sound, which is reachable by ferry from 3 directions and not as isolated as it might sound since it is really just a short 15 minute ride away from 2 cities (Tacoma and Seattle). My mother's friends in the midwest consider this quite exotic (thinking I must be inundated by ocean waves and gale force winds) and I have a hard time convincing them that I can actually ride the public bus to get to the airport and I shop at an ordinary grocery store.

The ferry ride is lovely in the Summer time.
