| My pretty snapdragons |

| Just now, in light rain |
It didn't rain while we ladies walked this morning, but started right as we were getting ready to leave. I headed over, nevertheless, to City Hall, where there was a rally to support immigration reform, specifically to protest the separation of children from their parents. It was a good turnout, since we Pacific Northwesterners never let a little thing like rain keep us away. I guess there are gatherings in many towns and cities this weekend. I wanted to be a part of it.
Now I'm back home and pondering just what to do with that magnificent fennel, which is definitely beginning to take over. My hiking friends gave me some good ideas and once I get on the internet, I'm sure I'll find just the right thing!

How pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove that ruby red snapdragon. And that people are turning out to support immigration reform.
ReplyDeleteThat is a spectacular snapdragon! Good luck with the fennel!
ReplyDeleteJust a gorgeous snapdragon, indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe colour of the snapdragon is unusual and a delight to see. Pleased to hear of so many people showing how they feel about the separation of children from their parents.
ReplyDeleteI just juiced fennel in our daily drink. It goes well with kale and beets.
ReplyDeleteI have no advice on the use of fennel.
ReplyDeleteWe had thousands turn out here at the SeaTac detention center, but Tom and I went the other way, into the city for a Sounders match. I'm glad it was a good turn out. It generated lots of mean spirited comments on Facebook, however. We are so divided on so many things, and meanness is rampant. I get discouraged.
You are fast becoming a first class gardener.
ReplyDeleteRuby red for sure. Fennel tea is very relaxing and it can also go in curries.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms!! When the bloom looks all done cut it off or you can cut it off and take it in and enjoy it inside:) If you clip off the bloom it will bloom again:)
ReplyDeleteThat's one gorgeous snap dragon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous red!
ReplyDeleteLove the snapdragon!! Not sure what to do with fennel, but I'm sure you can find something online. You can find just about anything on the internet. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the color of that snapdragon. I have only planted the yellow ones and see that I have been missing out. Have no idea on fennel.
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks great! Have no idea about the fennel...

Your garden is looking awesome. I love the color of that snapdragon. I generally love snapdragons in any color. I know nothing about what to do with fennel.
ReplyDeleteNever had fennel in my life so I don't know what it tastes like. That red flower looks very pretty.
