Here's that weird plant that Chuck told me I should buy next time I saw it. I didn't get it this time because I didn't know how long we would take getting home from here.
There's a llama ranch by the nursery. Hola y adios, llamas!

Cistus Nursery Again
A few photos of Cistus Nursery from Sunday morning. I was here a couple of months ago.

Where I Stay and What I Do in Oregon
This is a shot from the bed that I sleep in when I visit Oregon. This is basically the same shot that I opened this blog with.
My friends' house is near Cornelius Pass and Sauvie Island, off Highway 30, which runs from Portland to Astoria. To get there, you go up this road and under this old railroad trestle.
For some reason, I missed the money shot -- the view of the Columbia River from their side deck -- but here are some other photos from their yard.
One of the things that I do when I go to Oregon every other month or so is get my hair cut by my friend Lucynda at Dirty Little Secret. Isn't her salon cute?

Joy Creek Nursery
Friday afternoon I visited Joy Creek Nursery, off Highway 30 in Scappoose, Oregon.
It's less than 20 miles outside Portland, but it feels very rural out here in the hills that overlook the Columbia River.
There's nothing too exotic here -- just some beautiful, sprawling demonstration gardens that look perfect for their country setting.
I fell in love with this Sambucus (and bought one two days later). Dark purple foliage, white and pink flowers. Where have you been all my life, gorgeous?
Bye, Joy Creek Nursery!

Herr Backyard Garden Center in Burien
We do our grocery shopping across the street from this place, and today we finally went in. We got some groundcover.
Note to my friend Barb: I'm not sure if you're still reading this blog, or if you're still looking for a cement Buddha head for your garden. But FYI, this one cost $197.

A Garden in Ballard
I wish I didn't have to work and my life could be all about wine bars and garden parties.
One of the skylights at Portalis on Saturday evening.
And a friend's garden in Ballard. No commentary, just twilit photos.
