Tangly Cottage Gardening

Garden open day Sunday June 7th, 11-4. It is also a food drive for Ilwaco food bank and there will be a smallish plant sale to benefit Pacific County Immigrant Support.

You would think with an open garden day Sunday I would have spent the day at home in our garden weeding and tidying but NO, we suddenly hared off to enjoy an open garden at Chickadee Gardens in St Helens, Oregon, and then an hour fifteen minute round trip past that to Cistus Nursery on Sauvie Island. Good thing we don’t open till 11 on Sunday. Perfection won’t be attained! (Is it ever?) I might be weeding while you tour!

Address: 423 Lake Street SE, Ilwaco.

To the person who recommended Imagine Dragons....Thank you, they are exactly what I love. Matty of The 1975 dissed them, but I think he must just be competitively jealous. They are just what I like!

Didn’t used to be this way but it’s me now minus the booze and ciggie.
