Here are some pictures I took the other day, when the sun was out and things were blooming.
Below is a new arbor/entrance to the Shire Garden. We reused the original arched gate that has been here for years.

Here are some of the blooms from the garden.

It is raining and gloomy here, so we thought a good time to share the images from sunnier days. The warmer days will return soon, it is of course springtime in Oregon.
Until next time,

How wonderful to visit The Banks of Salt Creek after a long time of being unsociable on social media. You are all amazing, and I just wish we were neighbors, because I would love to enjoy the beauty and products of your sanctuary. Sending blessings of joy, peace, and love,
