Presently in the darling poetry-display at the Port Townsend Public Library…
Enjoy!
This is a style of succinct poems that choose just a few words, to tell you whole stories…The Port Townsend Public Library becomes festive and intimate when celebrating this ancient art of Hai-Ku Poetry…
And the special Poetry Display corner, dresses up with depth, love and laughter in this month of June…
To 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….
Well 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…
And the Library is but celebrations…and dresses up all in green leaves for the summer…
Volunteer’s creativity blooms, once more, in gardens amongst the books!
And behind the counters, it blooms again in smiles and splendid service…
For those so well known in town as Janette Force, stupendous Directress of the Port Townsend Film Festival…
In 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! ♥

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…
No one is unattended in his presence...
David Sullivan was part of the trio of fellow County Commissioners that night...
Master musicians, George and Matt prepare for their splendid performance that night
Phil Johnson was the third member of the trio of County Commissioners supporting the re-election of John Austin
Full house, good food, and good "vibes" all through...
John Austin is a respected and very dear name in town...
Bright and beautiful County Clerk Ruth Gordon took the mic for her friend John...
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 ; )

Congratulations, Mayor Michelle Sandoval -this magnificent piece has been a labor of perseverance, planning and love from you to our City…In the hearts of many Port Townsenders, this splendid piece of architecture and YOUR dream -for us!…are inseparably linked!
Port Townsend is all out for its fantastic new Maritime Center!!!
Dreams of legendary vessels -from legendary vessels’ dinning rooms…
A magical blend of times…
Like our lovely Victorian Couple -from the P.T. Historical Society….
What a place: The location, the views, the events!!!
The splendid architecture (and wood construction) the classes, the exhibits, THE PEOPLE!!!…
AND, from last Saturday: the “Aldriche’s Café”
plus the splendid “The Chandlery” store!!!
WOW!
Like Mayor Michelle Sandoval said last Saturday -when attending the great WSU President’s visit: “Where did we use to meet before!?” Totally true!
WSU’s own Katherine Baril, and WSU’s President Dr. Elson Floyd, enjoy each other’s presence and splendid mutual support for WSU
This visionary center -with Mayor Michelle Sandoval’s inspiration and support- has brought together people from varied interesting venues -and they all fit splendidly well…
Stupendous world-quality artists and poets…
From the art and poetry “The Shape of Water” exhibit, sponsored by the City Arts Commission of Port Townsend….
To the Inter-Religious Earth Day Celebration…
At the wonderful Port Townsend Maritime Center
To the splendid boat promenade -last Saturday…

Directly from their farm (right behind and to the side of the store!)…
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 : )
And we do… : )
Is this comforting and delightful, or what?

Kris Nelson has invited the sponsor: Old Domain University…
Kris has business to talk -and fun to have and share with each one of us!
And we learn they are the second oldest University in the country -dating even from Colonial times-
The room is full to a point it feels “cozy”…
Everybody is well tended, well informed and well cared for at this “Elks” Chamber meetings…
And the awaited speaker Joe Finney, awaits -just next to his dear wife, Cindy… and his conference is interesting at all levels…
Hence ubiquitous City Mayor Michelle Sandoval waits as well, enjoying a sip…
Ready to listen to the people of “her” City…
Jennifer, discreet and quiet sees to all details being cared for…
Then comes Joe… well prepared with stats in hand and much experience -as owner of the very successful Bishop and the Swan Hotels, Down Town Port Townsend…
He tells us that we, the Hospitality Industry represent the 60% of the taxpool, with 336 rooms…
He addresses the past, the present, and the future of our industry in town, when 3 more hospitality entities join our services in Port Townsend -possibly within the next 3 years. He talks of the Colombia Hospitality, and the Hasting Building being remodeled.
But he mentions that only looking -and understanding- what is happening around us. Only well interpreting the new quality and eco-”green” oriented trends of the younger hospitality clients, we will not only stay abreast; but do well.
This reporter asked the speaker if he saw an asset-to-be-discovered in the need other newer establishments will have to advertise and promote themselves when new in town…And if he too thought that can benefit us all, since it will bring new segments of tourism to our town…He agreed.
Much applause, and the raffle of a beautifully ornated miniature rhododendron were the the “happy ending” to this very well presented lecture.
Thank you, Joe!

She just likes to play hide-and-seek behind the trees…
She enjoys being so mysterious…
Ah, sweet, unfathomable Port Townsend Moon…
