PATRICIA HAMMILL – POET – “SYMPHONY OF WIND”

Leave a Comment / ARCHIVES, CONTRIBUTING WRITERS /

I started writing poetry when I was nine years old.  My mother had friends who were poets, my aunts wrote poetry, and I had wonderful teachers in school who not only wrote poetry but promoted poetry. Also, I had friends who enjoyed “playing with words.” Writing poetry seemed natural.

Many of my themes deal with nature; however, I also have written about issues concerning the range of human experience, including joy, love, and desperation.

Sandy was more than a family pet;  she was a member of the family; she had many roles to play during her more than fifteen years of life! Sandy was Michelle’s constant companion at home and in the car.  Sandy brought joy and a sense of “It’s all good,” to the extended Olson and Proebstel families whether in Everett, Ponderosa or Sequim.

HERONSWOOD GARDEN I -By Lorelie Olson

You are invited to join Tim, Lorelie, Cathy, and David on a visit to the restored Heronswood garden in Kingston.

The original garden was centered around the home of Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones, who moved there in 1987. During their stay on the 15 acre property, Hinkley and Jones developed a formal garden near their house, and expanded the scope of their vision with a nursery and exotic plants which they found on their world travels.

In 2000, Heronswood was sold to the Burpee Seed Company, which later declared bankruptcy, so by 2006 the garden was closed.

After years of neglect the Port Gamble S’Kallam Tribe purchased Heronswood at auction and became dedicated to rediscovery of lost plants and development of new garden areas and collections.

With the anticipation  and excitement of the June fishing openings over and the crew settled into the repetitive routines of setting the net and bringing the fish aboard the boat, the crew smiles when the skipper says, “Last set, make a town pile, bring the skiff aboard, and let’s head for town.
