Cape Horn Trail, Washington, June 16, 2018, (Hike # 37)
We hiked the upper section of the Cape Horn trail, from Strunk Road to the Waterfall Overlook, with stops at the Nancy Russell Overlook. The last of the larkspur and lupine were hanging on. Prolific flowers were cow parsnip, tiger lily, candy flower, columbine and penstemon. 3.5 miles, 600 feet. Previous hikes: May and November, 2107.

CRAFTING
I’ve turned the heel on the first of the Cornwall socks:
I began the Jane Austen House cross stitch kit, a souvenir from my visit there in April.
GARDEN
We have planted tomatoes, basil, jalapeño, cucumber and parsley – time tested and always consumed in our household.
