We still have an iris blooming in December. Bird’s nest fungus in the front yard. We walked on the Olympic Discovery Trail today and there was a rainbow over Port Angeles. The skating rink in PA.

Yesterday and today flocks of birds were passing over. Their call made me think of Sandhill Cranes.

We tried to go to the Hoh Rain Forest today. The wait line was 2 hours. After a while we gave up and went to Ruby Beach. Rain was to arrive soon. The beach was also popular but people spread out. We walked a while with rain sprinkling on us.

We also got to Panorama Point County Park. From here we could look across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island (1 picture), to Protection Island and Mount Baker (the other picture).

More from Miller Peninsula. The pictures are: Michael at a peek-a-boo view of Vancouver Island, Me with a Pacific Rhododendron, and a saprophyte named Pinesap. It was a beautiful day for a hike.

Got our greenhouse built. It will be useful for tomatoes and veggies that like warmer temperatures. Some of the raised beds are providing fresh lettuce and greens for nightly salads, others have seedlings just emerging. So far the fence has kept deer out of the fenced area. 🙂

I finished assembling my raised beds this week and planted a variety of vegetable seeds today. The ones with things growing were finished and planted about a month ago.

I got my first raised garden bed assembled and filled with soil today. I will have 8 of these in 2 sizes/shapes. Looking forward to fresh raspberries & veggies this summer! Raspberries will be in this one. The fence is due to the overabundance of deer here.
