We had a chance to visit the Sidney Art Gallery and had no idea what a treat we were going to experience. The gallery is located at 202 Sidney Avenue in Port Orchard Wa. Quoting from their website “Located a block up the hill from downtown Port Orchard and the marina, the Sidney Gallery is a terrific place to find artistic treasures by renowned and emerging artists.” It was such a thoroughly enjoyable visit, partially because of the hostess who gave us information about each piece of art and each artist.

We had the opportunity to take a long walk at Battle Point Park on Bainbridge Island recently.  The park is large, 90 acres with mainly open space with ponds, 1.5 mile paved walking trail, bike trail, well equipped children’s playground, soccer fields, softball fields, tennis courts, community garden, picnic and sitting areas, and of all things, a roller hockey court. We were able to watch them play and boy does that look like fun!! Continue reading A Walk At Battle Point Park On Bainbridge Island

Bainbridge Gardens For Plants And Inspiration

Since it’s May and time to garden we decided a visit to the fantastic Bainbridge Gardens on Bainbridge Island was the thing to do on a rainy May day (yes we live in the Northwest and May days are so often rainy). Another great thing about days like this is that they are the best for planting starts and help keep planting shock to a minimum. Continue reading Bainbridge Gardens For Plants And Inspiration
