Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Hinotori]

There's some strange wet stuff falling from the sky this morning. Wonder what it is???

We have that, too. The smell of petrichor was super strong last night right before it started because we've been so dry

Oh yes we had a skunk smell outside my bedroom window last night.

We drove up to the Farm Store and Jeremy's yesterday. Got some peaches for a fresh peach pie. They had patty pan squash. I don't think I've ever seen that in Washington before. It's one of my favorites. Used to get it in CA. Happy find!

The new smaller store is much nicer than the other one. The veggies and fruits look very fresh. That wasn't my experience in the other location. May be going there more often now.

He said he was saving rent to combine the stores before he did move. He had the restaurant first.

Oh, I know. We've eaten there twice. Probably won't again. Mediocre.

Always get my peaches and tomatoes at Jeremy's. Great place for that.

Maybe we will try it the James and I.

Paid $75 a plate for a Valentine's dinner. It was overcooked salmon. Can't remember what we had the other time. That was probably 10 years ago. Took a long time to try them again, only to pay too much for bad fish.

Petrichor???

 

[Hinotori]

Petrichor???

The smell of coming rain.

Petrichor is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil, often described as a fresh, pleasant aroma. It is caused by oils released from plants and compounds from soil bacteria, particularly geosmin, which are released into the air during rainfall.
