    Link to C&P Coffeehouse Jim Page event says “page does not exist.” Their calendar doesn’t have an entry for the musician for the 25th.  :-(    But Jim Page is well worth hearing!

    What are those flower shrubs? I see them in many yards all bloomed out like in the photo. They seem to be a newish shrub because I don’t recall seeing them around in yards until the last couple of years.  They remind me of the snowball or popcorn ball shrub but the ones like in the photo don’t seem to grow as tall.

    They’re a type of hydrangea; don’t know which variety though.  Bet someone at West Seattle Nursery would know.

      Thanks! must be a new type since they only recently began appearing.

Sorry, comment time is over.
