HuMp DaY Haiku - Funky Tree

Garden store display.

Christmas trees all quite unique!

Happy Holidays! 

We took a trip down to Skagit Valley last week, and visited Skagit Gardens Nursery. They always have a Holiday display of the most unique and fun Christmas trees. The first one especially caught my eye; I love the wagon and bathtub. The coral tree was in a "sea themed area", and the baby tree near by. What a delight to spend the afternoon wandering and viewing it all.

And on another note... welcome to Liam Jude, my new grand nephew, born Dec 17th.

We're keeping Hump Day Haiku a bit low key during the holidays... everyone is so busy! If you have time and are so inspired, do join in by either posting your haiku in the comments, or adding your blog post with Mr. Linky. 

Happy Holidays! 

 

Colorful

 Another favorite tree from our visit to Skagit Gardens Nursery in Mount Vernon, decorated with colorful gardening tools and gloves and watering cans. 

And a cool garden ornament frog. 

I can see a heart in the swirls, but maybe I'm just fanciful. :)

Wouldn't you be fun to see

on my Christmas tree? 

 I love to create a haiku to go with my photos, and invite you to come back to visit on Wednesday's, when I host Hump Day Haiku. And perhaps you'll share a haiku you have written. 

I thank you for stopping by and wish you a Peaceful Holiday Season!

Chairs!

Unique Christmas tree. 

My husband and I went to Skagit Gardens Nursery last week. (Road Trip!) Our original purpose for driving the 25-ish miles to Mount Vernon was to get the fireweed honey we love from their Food Co-op. Our Food Co-op doesn't carry fireweed honey, sad to say.  But that's another story. :) 

I thought it would be fun to visit Skagit Gardens, since we were so close, and since I'd recently bought a Hellebore from their nursery at our favorite local Garden Spot Nursery. (Where I went to a fun class to learn all about them, but that's also another story. *grin*)

Skagit Gardens had their holiday displays up and we had a marvelous time going around admiring all the creative Christmas trees. This one really caught our attention. I mean, who would have thought all those old chairs and stools could create such a unique tree? 


It's a joy sharing impromptu adventures with my husband.

Holiday Fun

Spent a fun day Saturday with a friend attending various festivals in town. The Festival of trees included this adorable one created by my friend Michele. Isn't that topper the best?

We also attended the Holiday Port Festival, which features a gingerbread house competition. My friend Llew entered a gingerbread village, which was so large it was entered as two. She won first place and third place for her village. It was great fun being there when she could show us around.
