I've been on vacation for the last week; a good old-fashioned family vacation, you know, Griswold-style with my husband and two college-age children. It is still possible at this stage, to tolerate a little togetherness and have some fun too. Working around everyone's schedule we managed a visit to the greater Seattle area.
I thought it best to explain my absence on this trip when I'm already en route back home; you never know who might know your address and want to pilfer a petunia or perhaps a flat-screen TV.
I'll have two Washington-specific posts when I get back; one very techy, the other earthy.
Until then I thought you might enjoy a a few landscaping shots demonstrating excellent use of evergreens and foliage from the grounds of the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery.
After all, it is the "Evergreen State".
