Last Friday I drove out to Quenella place and we sat on her porch and looked out at all the lilac in bloom. I was a bit worried, strong scent bothers me. People or natural made will at times give me an asthmatic attack. But I'm not as bad as my mom was. We never had lilac growing up and when she got around them her nose would start to bleed. Growing up we had petunias.
She had some flowers planted in fridge veggie crisper. Not sure what there called in other places in world. But I like the ideal a lot. It amazing what people use for planter. I have an old wringer washer I thought of using for a planter.
At one time she had the dream of having a healing or peace garden. That people would come and visit. Even she had plan to put up a covered slab and people could come out and have small gathering. She also thought of star gazers. Promoting one goals and dreams can be diffucult in so many ways. I believe Friday I will be posting about my creativity studio. Or possible Thursday. Looks like it going to have to be a lot different than I imagine.
Well Qunella is up agaist the Purcell range and I'm up agaist the Selkirks. She lives across the kootenai valley from me.
Her Rhubarb is doing fantastic. Mind is on the south side of my house. Mind really don't even come close to hers. I real like Rhubarb I recall my mom canning it up. Rhubarb pie is one of my favor pies. Oh Qunella and her hubby use to make Rhubarb wine, which for pinkish wine was great.
Her bohemian cabin. Not many people around my neck of woods. I can speak freely on spirituality and political thoughts. My friend Qunella is one of them. Not be called a libtard or commie. Confession time....I think it funny when my oldest son call me a commie for voting for school levy. He had to agree I'm less of commie than those who have there hand out. I seen plenty of Trump people waving there trump flag and bitching about the gov't and if any there checks are late. There yelling and screaming the loudest. I had no plans to go off on rant.
Quenella's yard looks interesting, plenty to see while sitting on the porch. My rhubarb died after struggling for three years. It didn't do well in a pot so I planted it in the soil and there it died.

ReplyDeleteI too have asthma that can be triggered by too strong perfumes - even natural ones. Lavender is my nemesis. Can't burn that oil for anything, though the flower itself is not too much of a problem.
Grief takes people so many different ways - and the essence of spirit in a shared place. Qunella would certainly have a lot to handle there on her own - it's lovely though. Yum... rhubarb... YAM xx
That rhubarb patch looks grea at. Mine is almost as big and in need of harvesting.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have discussions of what to do when one of us dies. Who knows how the other will handle it regardless of the discussions beforehand?
I never thought of having a spouse die and leaving the home. We should think of stuff like this. I feel I would want to still stay in my home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to visit.
ReplyDeleteHer cabin looks so different, so unique
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool friend to visit. Great pics as always and I would stay anywhere there might be a visitor from the other side. :)
ReplyDeleteShe must enjoy having so much empty space around her. Nice views.
ReplyDeleteYour friend has an interesting home, I think she must be very good company for you, creative and inspiring.
