Before leaving Bandon yesterday, nosotros paid i to a greater extent than see to consider the Circles inwards the Sand. Here was Wednesday's version:
We took i to a greater extent than await at the persuasion from the other side of the lookout, too it was in that location nosotros solved the mystery of the Cat too Kittens rocks. Here's the storey that accompanied the map of the rocks.
And here, nosotros conduct hold the rocks identified.
Here's the image. That's Cathedral Rock inwards the foreground. Behind that too on the left is Face Rock. Cat too Kittens rocks are off to the right.
I'm non getting a truthful cat too kittens from that, but y'all conduct hold to admire their choice of subjects.
Oh yes, too I got i to a greater extent than paradigm of these things. They grow apartment on the ground. Weird flower.
Our final halt inwards Bandon was to Cranberry Sweets & More candy shop. This is such a fun place. If you're inwards Bandon, don't missy it. They issue samples of virtually everything, too so it's fun to walk through tasting everything. They conduct hold a website (right here), too the adult woman working in that location hastened to allow me know that they volition ship.
I meant to conduct hold pictures inwards the store, but too so was so boggled inwards my heed at all the tasty treats that I completely forgot. You'll conduct hold to await on the website. We came away amongst this "Pie Box."
When our purchases were tallied up, we'd spent to a greater extent than than $20, which meant nosotros were offered a box of the Key Lime Pie Candy for one-half price. Well, who tin overstep upward a deal, right? So nosotros got that too.
Sorry for the blurry images...I was so excited, I could barely stand upward still. Inside each box, it looks similar this:
Bite into a candy, too it looks similar this inside. It's basically a gluey enveloped inwards delicious white chocolate. The pie flavors are quite different, too they sense of savour similar what they are. This was a lemon meringue type.
Also, this was fun too unique. We had to conduct hold a minor package...two pieces...which nosotros devoured when nosotros stopped for lunch.
It contains cheese, but really, it exactly tastes similar fudge.
Also, this caught our oculus every bit nosotros were paying for our candy, too nosotros ended upward amongst a minor handbag of that. The chocolate has chipotle too ancho chile peppers. It isn't hot plenty to knock your caput off, too the rut takes a 2nd to brand itself known. When y'all uncovering it, it keeps coming for a few seconds.
It looks similar regular chocolate, too so I could consider this every bit a fun political party gag. Put out a trivial dish of chocolates too don't say anyone...let them figure it out on their own.
On the downwards side, exactly the trivial sample nosotros had of this gave me heartburn.
Okay...so fun's over. Time to caput for home. We passed through Coos Bay, Oregon, on our stimulate north. Coos Bay sounds similar a lovely trivial town past times the sea, doesn't it? Actually, it's a rattling active lumber factory town. Driving through, i is confronted past times virtual mountains of debarked fir trees stacked upward similar so many pencils.
And the biggest mount of sawdust you've e'er seen. I left the edifice to the correct inwards the paradigm below for scale.
In the paradigm below, y'all tin consider how a large bulldozer is dwarfed past times the mount of sawdust.
H5N1 trivial farther on, i enters the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. We sometimes larn hither to ride ATV's.
And I knew you'd live disappointed if nosotros traveled all that agency without a unmarried barn photo, so I took a few along the way.
Also, nosotros passed plain afterwards plain of blooming white clover. There were lots of beehives along amongst the clover, too so nosotros recall there's or so beloved existence made here.
Also, I got or so other shot of the California poppies lining the centre median strip all the agency through Salem, Oregon.
Back home, the start affair I noticed was the wisteria inwards amount bloom. It's amazing what a divergence exactly a few days makes.
Also the lilac has outburst open, too it smells heavenly.
Beside it, the lavander rhododendron is getting to a greater extent than flowers.
And the azaleas are dazzling correct now.
The clematis is exactly fabulous.
And this rhododendron was nonetheless inwards buds when nosotros left. Now, it's completely engulfed inwards flowers.
I'd taken the trivial seedlings inwards the family to perish along them from getting every bit good warm inwards the greenhouse. They conduct hold to rest covered until they've germinated, too it seems i of them was bursting to larn out.
Who's nether there? Who else? H5N1 zucchini...the well-nigh enthusiastic constitute ever.
The tomatoes were left inwards the greenhouse, too they're getting their start flowers. These volition involve to live transplanted into larger pots this weekend. Ours rest inwards pots inwards the greenhouse all flavour long.
Our hapless trivial apple tree tree is covered inwards blossoms. Last year, it produced vii apples. I'm thinking to a greater extent than this year.
But I saved the best for last. Look at that!!! The poppies from Republic of Ireland conduct hold their start bud!!! Oh my gosh! This is the well-nigh exciting affair since my children were born!
They're fuzzy trivial critters, aren't they? Now I'm on bloom bud watch. My start idea was, "Don't allow the squirrels consume you, okay?"
So today I conduct hold unpacking to do. So far, I've been bringing things inwards i at a time, which is fairly inefficient. It does give me a lot of steps on my Fitbit though. Also, I involve to brand a run into town for a few groceries too to run or so errands. Also, I'm coming together Mike for lunch. It's going to live a rather busy day, but I'll conduct hold or so fourth dimension for to a greater extent than slow-stitching this morning, too I'm nonetheless hoping to larn the borders sewn on the pansy mosaic.
