A Wedding on Orcas Island

October 15, 2014 by Kristen

Before I get back to all things Dundee, I wanted to do a quick recap of our weekend spent on Orcas Island celebrating the marriage of our two wonderful friends.

As I mentioned in my last post, we arrived to the Orcas Island on Friday which also happened to be the First Friday of the month! Lucky us, we were treated to all sorts of sales at the local shops in Eastsound. If you plan to visit Orcas Island you really need to make sure you have adequate time to visit all of the shops. The town of Eastsound is straight out of a movie with a quaint downtown perfect for strolling about.

Blogging from a Boat

October 11, 2014 by Kristen

Last weekend we took a few days off work and headed north to see our wonderful friends get married. Traveling to the wedding location turned out to be quite an adventure! The wedding was being held on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington.

And right now, you might be asking yourself, how do you get to an island with your car?

The answer: You take a ferry!

Carrots from our Garden

October 9, 2014 by Kristen

Our summer garden is certainly starting to wane. Fall is coming.

After a long summer of growing, I decided it was finally time to pull the carrots. The thing about growing carrots is you never really know what the heck is going on. You just have to trust that the carrots are growing. Patience is key!

Bringing the Bees Home

October 7, 2014 by Kristen

The south side of our house has been very neglected. It’s the one area that unfortunately has been, out of sight out of mind. The Renaissance Man has spent last week rototilling, leveling, and preparing this space to bring the bees home. This side of our house will become our The Apiary a.k.a. The Home for the Honeybees.
