I'm glad you went to Purple Haze -- it's our favorite lavender farm in Sequim. And I agree with you, PT is one of the prettiest little towns we've found. Tell Tessa she's adorable even if she did get a bit closely shorn. It's a challenge finding hair stylists on the road (or groomers). oxoxoLaurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-65012188716911014172017-08-14T09:32:48.701-07:002017-08-14T09:32:48.701-07:00It was great that they had different kinds of lave...It was great that they had different kinds of lavender I didn't know about.

We actually love a county park in Florida but don’t go there any more as they have ridiculously high speed bumps and a ridiculous number of them. Pretty hilarious that they could get Duckabush from do-hi-a-boos. Just LOL at your okay…okay…but well. You tell a great story. Good heavens! What were they thinking, poor Tessa. Is she hiding in shame? Well, it will make her plenty cool and it will grow out. Love the lavender and the water pics. The more rapids the better. Your shots make Port Townsend look unique, just like it is. Well done all around. Hope you get out of the smoke. Not sure I could do it at all since I'd be coughing 24/7.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-87936209515167499422017-08-11T19:38:36.659-07:002017-08-11T19:38:36.659-07:00I'd gladly give up the sunsets for clear skies...I'd gladly give up the sunsets for clear skies :-)) No fish in Dosewallips or Duckabush.

We will be back there next year to visit friends. Lots of clamming, oystering and crabbing! When we lived in NY we knew it was finally spring when you saw all the (dead) raccoons on the roads. Sad, but true.

Did you only travel with your tow car and not the MH? Rufus has a spa day on Sunday. I'd rather deal with the grooming than constant sweeping up dog hair any day! Our Rotties would shed like crazy all year long :-( <br />Hopefully you'll get the cooler temps now that you're inland. <br />I enjoy lazy days at home too :-) Rene https://www.blogger.com/profile/12780561678301320661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-46675289472843876942017-08-11T08:56:12.950-07:002017-08-11T08:56:12.950-07:00The ferry really was easy :-)))

Once we get to Albany on the 17th for the eclipse I doubt we'll be able to drive anywhere in the crowds! <br /><br />Tessa has never been this short, she can't grow out fast enough!

We move to Eugene on Monday and then to Portland. I have SO loved the last eight weeks in the 60's. <br /><br />I agree that Port Townsend is a very cute little town. We enjoyed our visit, as well. <br /><br />Poor Tessa:( She doesn't look happy with her new hairdo. Like I say after every haircut, it will grow back! But she is probably more comfortable when the day is warm:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.com
