We have named all of our fields or gardens. My very favorite is the Butternut Garden, named for the beautiful tree next to it. This weekend, I spent some treasured alone time in that garden, weeding strawberries and planting flowers. it is a nice secluded out-of-sight place with a peek-a-boo view of Mt. Rainier when she's out. We had our farm crew of my Mom and Dad over helping us put wood chips around the old Butternut. Our tree guy, Ray Gleason wants the wood chips in place of grass because grass requires more water than is healthy for the tree. And speaking of Ray, he came over last week and pruned the butternut and the old hazelnuts--mostly to give the butternut even more space. We are very grateful for his ongoing stewardship of the tree.
The Pacific Northwest Archeology Society had a program last Friday night on George and Isabella Bush--up in Seattle at REI. Shanna Stevenson, Roger Easton, and Dale Croes along with his student, Tyler, gave a great presentation on the Bush family with a special emphasis on the Bush women. It was fun to be in the audience, hearing about the very land we live on. Sometimes we pinch ourselves because it seems like a dream.
