July, 2021
I loved it here in this tiny little corner of Washington State, where I was boondocked on private property, very green and very quiet private property with excellent hosts. But today I needed to head out for my next destination on my three-destination trip. Darrington was first … Lake Goodwin was second … and Bremerton will be third.
But Bremerton would be such a short drive away that I elected to spend this last morning taking yet another drive with just my truck on yet another road in the area north of Lake Goodwin. Here are things I found of interest …
Bees! A veritable bees-ness. 🙂
I would have purchased some honey or honeycombs but there was no store here.
Around another turn in the road, I found this sign below … so I headed off to the left and uphill on the small road up to the church to see what I could see.
The church and the graveyard were very peaceful and, well, welcoming. And it was time to jump in the big white truck and move on up the road.
Next find … a barn!
Then there was this very interesting field below … with crops in stripes. I can’t remember ever seeing anything like this before. What might be the reason for the two different colors?
Then around yet one more bend in the road I found this field below. It felt to me like it needed a haircut and good combing. But there’s lots I don’t know about farming. 🙂
I pulled off the road and parked and walked around here for a little while.
I love the colors and textures in the photo above.
The photo below finally gave me a view of the plant growing here. But what is it? Keep in mind I took these photos in July.
The very next farm had an exquisite row of old trees lining the roadway to the house and barnyard.
And now I was back near the bee place again. Just a couple hundred feet down the road from that bee place was this huge field that grew all manner of flowers … that’s all the sign said … just “flowers”.
I liked how perfect and tidy the rows were and even the dirt was. And I wondered if maybe the bees were being “grown” so close by in order to pollinate these flowers, and all the flowers to come, in this huge field.
This was another great morning. I saw lots of stuff, and yet I still hadn’t seen everything in just this one small area. But now it was time to head back to my boondocking spot near Lake Goodwin, have a bite of lunch, and then hitch up the trailer to the truck and head towards Bremerton to my next “Boondockers Welcome” destination. Come on along!
