Harvesting Hydrangeas and Taking a Garden Walk

 Saturday we picked hydrangeas that I will use for dried bouquets once the fresh flowers are gone. Right now they are chilling in the garage with a little water on their stems. I'll get to them when I get to them.

On Sunday, since the sun was shining and there was no Seahawks football, we went to the nearby Highline Seatac Botanical Garden for our walk.

















Have you seen one of these on the road? It's a Tesla "truck". Not sure how much use it is for haulng, but it is a head truner. 

Now Monday is ticking away. The house is clean, the laundry is done, the bills are paid. It is the last day of September, pay day for us state employee retirees. 
The Seahawks start in an hour on Monday night football. It's time to go sit in my chair and work my Wordle and check out Facebook. 
See you later.

  1. Hey... We just saw that Tesla Foundation truck/car whatever next to us a few days ago. I agree it's a head turner. I looked up the price. $140,000.00? Sheesh!

  3. A lovely garden to walk around and on a pleasant day. That Tesla vehicle sure looks strange.

  6. Beautiful place for a walk! And yes, that Tesla truck is strange (looks a bit like the cars we tried to draw as kids). But they are popping up all over the place...

  7. Your Hydrangeas blooms are lovely! That is a strange looking truck, I hear that many electric vehicles and bikes in the path of the hurricane burned up because of the batteries and salt water...that sure doesn't look like a very practical truck.

  8. Love the Japanese garden! I also dried my hydrangeas. The Tesla has a very strange look.

  9. Beautiful garden! I wonder how long that botanical garden has been there. I grew up in Seattle on the border with Burien, not all that far from the Highline area and don't remember anything like that.

    1. This garden began in 2000 when a private garden was slated to be demolished by the airport expansion. It is located adjacent to the also new at the time SeaTac Community Center. Over time the garden has received more economic support and has grown with the addition of a relocated Japanese garden and other garden club additions. Google Highline Seatac Botanical Garden for more history.
      Thanks for asking.
