In fact, we love to watch the different birds that come to the bird feeders (so does our cat). We also have a black bear that lives in the woods nearby, and all the other various animals, including the rose-eating deer. :)Jami Davenporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259390150273030284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-80800754648229346662011-06-28T06:31:53.842-07:002011-06-28T06:31:53.842-07:00Wow, love the photos, Jami, especially since I'...Wow, love the photos, Jami, especially since I've never been to the NW. We have lush vegetation here in Virginia, but nothing like you have. Where we live is another fun difference that we writers bring to the blog!Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-13942517256998446642011-06-28T06:28:55.974-07:002011-06-28T06:28:55.974-07:00Great post and photos, Jami.

You didn't mention any critters--do you have as many deer, raccoons and possum as we have?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-43894386725333876432011-06-28T00:56:50.961-07:002011-06-28T00:56:50.961-07:00Jami, your property has such a lovely romantic and...Jami, your property has such a lovely romantic and peaceful atmosphere. I love all the ferns, and your house is so pretty. Is this where you set The Dance? Or was it in the San Juan islands? When I remember reading your book this was the sort of setting I imagined, especially the arena among the woods!Francesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201599087106798500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-91839780497532058962011-06-27T08:53:24.357-07:002011-06-27T08:53:24.357-07:00It looks gorgeous there.

In fact our horse fields barely have any grass in them now.Chelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070742200277253707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-70259077346891241492011-06-27T07:40:44.235-07:002011-06-27T07:40:44.235-07:00I loved the photos--its so fun to see other people...I loved the photos--its so fun to see other people's horse properties and yours is lovely. But yeah, like Funder, I would need more sun. Just the morning fog we get here by the Monterey Bay in the summer can get me down sometimes. And we have had so much rain here this spring that our woods are pretty jungley, too, as you could see in my trail ride photos on the last post. And its supposed to rain again tomorrow (!) This is totally unheard of around here, where it almost never rains in the summer. So we're getting a PNW type experience this year.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-4263055817137442642011-06-27T07:26:19.483-07:002011-06-27T07:26:19.483-07:00Wow - it's so LUSH!

Since last summer when I was on them the last time, most are totally overgrown, with grass, ferns, blackberries and young alder and fir trees. The lushness of the forest around us is indeed beautiful, but if you don't keep after it, it reverts to an impassable jungle-like thickness in practically no time. And we can sit in the back yard and watch our grass grow - or it seems that way. Enjoy summer, Jami - we have to make the most of our sunny days while we can, right?Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-86192423177631220722011-06-26T18:52:49.528-07:002011-06-26T18:52:49.528-07:00What a stunningly beautiful place you have!

I don't think I could live in the PNW - I crave sunny days too much - but I love seeing pictures of it. :)Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.com
