Chehalem Cultural Center - Lavender Festival 2025

 

This festival always in mid-July, with that it comes with warm temperature and sometimes it's down hot and miserable, we prefer cooler weather to explore an outdoor event like this one.

Durant at Red Ridge Farms

 

The weather is getting warm, too warm for our bodies to enjoy the farms and the views, buy I managed to get a few nice one.

Skyshows

 

The sunsets for over the last three days have been spectacular, but the opportunity is only minutes on the sky shows, I was running between the front bedroom and the bedroom facing the backyard.

Wayward Winds Lavender Farm

 

Early July is Lavender Festival time here in Portland area, this time we go back again to this farm, it is sill rustic, not much improvement. I like it that way.

Backyard Flowers by Pokie

 

The flowers in the backyard are blooming like crazy, so I asked Pokie to take pictures yesterday and I took some today, Pokie likes her "CLOSE UPS"

Seattle Waterfront

 

We decided to go to Seattle by Fast Ferry Kitsap, it's only half an hour from Bremerton, it's a new experience and Pokie likes it very much. We walked to Starbucks Reserve, it is going uphill, next time I will call UBER then walk down.

Bathroom Remodeling and New Carpeting

 

This website is made on day 2 of remodeling, at the end of day 2, I do not recognize it anymore. I am glad that the demolition is done and we are on framing on day 3, I try to have a normal life (if I could) during the eight week.
