One less vendor at the market too — Alden Farms, the organic potato vendor, called it quits. Last week was the final day for them. I will miss the Red Viking potatoes.

Mmmm – that looks like it might be a daphne odora in the picture. Mine is just starting to pop open and perfume the front yard. Yay spring!
Also planning on taking the car down to the carwash to have the moss scraped off and double checked with Alki Auto Repair for the curious. No worries about soapy water going into the storm drain that goes into the sound, they have a separate drain system that flows to the treatment plant.

Sorry, comment time is over.
