Langley

Monday afternoon we paid a visit to this lovely village by the sea, as Langley, on Whidbey Island, likes to describe itself. 

It has been a while since our last visit and there were a few changes.

Unfortunately, the old Dog House Tavern is still empty.  Development is supposed to be in the works, but it has been years now with no apparent activity. 

This clothing store for the well dressed hippie is new; the well-dressed, well financed hippie, that is.  Cool stuff though.  And I love the new paint job and the planter boxes. 

The Chocolate Flower Farm's Garden Shed is always a must stop. I bought a chocolate candle and fudge!

 Marie, the proprietor, has fun dressing up the store rooster for holidays. 

 Boy and Dog Park, so named for the bronze sculpture there, is looking festive.

 And, yes, of course, we stopped at the Useless Bay Coffee Company for a latte and a cookie. 

It's always fun to stroll through lovely Langley.
