Trick or Treat

 

This year's Jack-o-Lanterns carved out at Back Lane Gardens.  It is looking like we will have a very wet evening for trick or treating, but my kids are super excited despite the rain.

 

Happy Halloween!

Back Lane Gardens Again

This row of license plate birdhouses adorns the back of the booth at Bellingham Farmers Market. In case you are wondering what is on the other side of the folded over plates, it reads: Evergreen State.  I'm sure that I'm a bit biased being that I know the owner, but everything that is crafted at Back Lane Gardens is truly unique and beautiful.  I will surely share more soon.

The Garden of Eatin'...

...but not till next summer.  This is the side garden at Back Lane Gardens where we carved our pumpkins.

Skywatch Friday: Fall! Ooooh! The Rainbow!

Every year, a group of our friends and their kids gather at Back Lane Gardens to carve our Halloween pumpkins.  After an evening shower chased us into the greenhouse, we were rewarded with this stunning rainbow. 

 

Living Tapestry

I love the different colors and textures of these plants. I really should plant some in my garden. In the meantime, I have this nice picture I took at the Bellingham Farmer's Market. This was in my friend Linda's stall. She owns Back Lane Gardens and has some beautiful stuff! Click here to check out her site.
