Oct. 3rd, 2009 06:05 pmFabulous day. Got some writing done in the morning, and then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kehrli, awriter and I went on the Whatcom Studio Tour. It was the perfect excuse to get out into the county on a beautiful day.
We had a picnic in Canada thanks to the Peace Arch park. We pondered Giant Rhubarb. (Keffy will theoretically be posting pictures of these marvels.) Then it was on to the Bellewood Apple Farms (where we learned that bleu cheese and honeycrisp apples are a good combo. (And yes, I ate bleu cheese on a thin slice of honeycrisp apple, and yes, I ate the entire slice. I had a little trouble with the skin, though. I can never eat more than a few bites of apples.)
THen it was on to a glassblower and his garlic farm. Then kiln-fired glass (where we learned that a used kiln can be had for as little as 600$) and finally, a potter way out near Nooksack, who was wonderfully flighty and OCD all at once. We sat for a long time watching him throw a sphere on the wheel. When we left his barn, two GIANT golden retrievers awaited us. One of them followed us towards the car, while chickens CHASED us. We escaped, and no dogs nor chickens were squished.
