In The Port Townsend’s Farmer’s Market… : )

n UpTown Port Townsend (where “the proper” and “the elegant” used to live and associate in the 1800’s), we still gather, and share and enjoy (and we all get to consider ourselves “the proper”, “the elegant’, “the elegant funky”, “the funky”, the joyful, the beautiful and, above all: The free to express ourselves in our wonderful Summer Farmer’s Market!)

CIMG0942

Here the handsome jeweler who will fix my bracelet’s tiny mishap…CIMG0943

She herself received another beautiful “Itali Lambertini” “home-made”  jewel for her Christmas celebration… Deserving Lady and deserving piece, isn’t it?…”Made in Port Townsend”! ; )CIMG0944This is the other kind of  typical Port Townsend “jewel”…it’s called the joy of one/another’s company

CIMG0945

And the musical genius of David Michael and Dori, stands in delight listening to yet another fellow brilliant musician -and his group…

CIMG0946

Joe (guitar), and Amy (voice) were closing their last song when I approached… : ) Joy to hear them together!

CIMG0947And with sounds and stories so rich and fascinating all about, of course a new kind of RADIO must be born!…And here the talents and vision of Collin Brown brings it about to PT!

In it, Collin is prepared to echo our Port Townsend (one of the highest College attendance per capita in the country! ; )…with classical classics, and modern classics, and jazz and speakers, and all kind of sound artists, and poets, and writers and story-tellers!!!

Oh, joy -again- WHAT A TOWN this Port Townsend!!!

If you want to ask more about the town, you can contact our Chamber of Commerce here….    http://www.ptchamber.org/

…AND… if you were planning to come, you’ll be pleased with the many establishments from which you can choose…And, of course, in “Huber’s INN Port Townsend”, we’ll happily be there for you!…www.StayInHubersINN.com

Port Townsend Hai-ku Club at the Public Library…

Minimal and poignant. Just the core of it all!

Hai-Ku

Presently in the darling poetry-display at the Port Townsend Public Library…

Enjoy!

CIMG0924This is a style of  succinct poems that  choose just a few words, to tell you whole stories…CIMG0925The Port Townsend Public Library becomes festive and intimate when celebrating this ancient art of Hai-Ku Poetry…

CIMG0926And the special Poetry Display corner, dresses up with depth, love and laughter in this month of June…

CIMG0928To me, it is moving and fascinating and fun to see the poems the poets wrote -and then, the poetry books they have produced -or use as inspiration….

CIMG0929Well known names is this field, dance their dance of poetry in the company of many others yet to be known in the world…harmoniously, joyfully, wisely…

CIMG0931

And the Library is but celebrations…and dresses up all in green leaves for the summer…

CIMG0930

Volunteer’s creativity blooms, once more,  in gardens amongst the books!

CIMG0932And behind the counters, it blooms again in smiles and splendid service…

CIMG0934For those so well known in town as Janette Force, stupendous Directress of the Port Townsend Film Festival…

CIMG0935In the hearts (behind the hands and minds) of the many volunteers,  who make our Public Library the splendid experience it is for each and all of us…

♥ Thank you, Port Townsend Public Library! ♥

Political Calibre… : )

In Port Townsend, John Austin celebrated a gathering -at the UpStage Restaurant and Theater- to officially announce his intention to run again as Jefferson County Commissioner.

His involvement in the protection of our parks and woods has been as valiant,  as it has been efficient and remarkable.

This is a man with no shields. He wears his heart: No fear! No hiding.

John is loyal friend, committed citizen, talented poet, caring family man, seasoned politician, kind person, bright planner, and joyful “buddy” of musicians and artists, all at once. Always!

A whole man.

His fellow County Commissioners, David Sullivan and Phil Johnson were there, sporting big buttons supporting the re-election of John Austin.

In town, we each feel -with good reasons-  John is our personal friend...

At the event,  John himself spoke few, yet, profoundly informed and  heart felt words sharing what has been his mission with our beautiful INDISPENSABLE parks in our lovely region -and how, to further it, he intends to re-assume the many responsibilities of a Jefferson County Commissioner!

Moving gesture.

I find that running once for office implies a lot of qualities already… now, running for a second term, requires true commitment!

He does. He is committed.

We are fortunate and appreciative  to find such a man,  amongst us.

In fact, although his official re-election campaign will start later in the year (August?) out of respect and admiration and love for John, you start seeing posts supporting his re-election intentions around town : )

Thank you for who you are, John! (And Cynthia, for “holding his hand” through all of these periods of public life and service ; )

Still possible (and happening!) in Port Townsend… : )

Directly from their farm (right behind and to the side of the store!)…

CIMG9426

You still can come to a little store (open 24/7 :) to find all kinds of fresh flowers and goodies, and preserves of many sorts…yet, no one around!…You just choose your merchandize, look at the prize, and leave your money where they signs tell you to : )

CIMG9427And we do… : )

Is this comforting and delightful, or what?
