Weekend Plans

This weekend I will be Hero Quilting on Saturday & going to my niece's Dance Recital on Sunday. Oh, and quilting like crazy. These geraniums are by our front door. They are a new variety I found at Jordan Nursery called Graffiti Double Salmon from the Exotic Geranium family. I promise I didn't make that up either! They have the best prices on geraniums. There are several garden tours this weekend. Camano Island's Backyard Wildlife Habitat Garden Tour is this Saturday. It's FREE! The Mabana Flames (one of the Island Fire Station women's auxiliaries) will have box lunches you can buy. The Flames buy any needed equipment for the Mabana Fire fireman. Go here for a glimpse of what you will see.

In Everett you can go on the Garden's of Merit tour. Six gardens will be on the tour benefiting the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens in Everett. The cost is $10. I've never been, but must add this one to my bucket list!

Music in the garden: The Skagit Symphony’s third-annual Gardens of Note garden tour will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.Tour seven residential gardens, all on Samish Island, all featuring live classical, pop and jazz music.Tickets for $25 are available at Christianson’s Nursery & Greenhouse, Summersun Nursery & Landscaping and Skagit Valley Gardens, all in Mount Vernon. See www.skagitsymphony.com for garden descriptions.

Luckily my SIL will not be here for this(he keeps telling Joanna he's going to get some chickens)!
Tour the chicken coops of EverettCoop of Dreams: Everett is getting its very own chicken coop tour. Everett residents may explore 10 residential properties with chicken coops to learn about coop construction, hen care and local chicken laws.
