Everett Herald article on the Farmhouse

The Farmhouse was featured in the Home & Garden section of the Everett Herald Newspaper yesterday, May 7th, 2009. We were interviewed & photographed in preparation & anticipation of the Whidbey Island Garden Tour. If you would like to see the article & see the photos, here's the link: http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20090507/LIVING03/705079982
The Garden Tour will be Saturday, June 27th, 10:00 to 4:00. For information on tickets to tour all the gardens, please see the info in the article. Now we just have to pull all those weeds!

Sheep Shearing Tomorrow

Fluffy & Muffy will be relieved of their heavy coats tomorrow. Watch for photos.

Taking it easy at the Farmhouse

a misty spring garden

I've just been out in the garden. The tulip colors are vibrant during the misty drizzle--burgandy, pink, yellow and orangy-red with little droplets of water on their leaves, nestled in among the new green leaves of spring shrubs. Mt Fuji Cherry is in full bloom with billows of white blossoms heavy on its branches. Birds are inspecting the freshly painted bird houses, all up for rent in exchange for a song. Spring---I wish it could linger longer.
