July 2018 - Blue Sky Farm and Retreat Center - Vashon Island, WA

July 2018 - Vashon Island, WA

I spent three days which became five days at our lovely farm on Vashon Island in April and decided that it was not a time to sell it... it was a time to spend more time there and share it with  more people.

In July, I spent around three weeks there. Other members of our family came and went. It was a lot of fun to work to repair the woodwork around the windows and shop to (minimally) furnish the place so we could eat and sleep there.

I am working to figure out if I can partner with others to make the house, gardens and property available to others as a retreat center, space for contemplation and peace, or even place for an occasional wedding.

Here is the view of the front of the house from the garden in the Spring:



 Here is the house and garden in the Spring.













This is the inside and the outside of the Studio Building/Barn. 




When I returned this July, the house was empty and I have been slowly refurnishing it and working on next steps. Here is the view out the front towards the orchard and to the East. 



The main barn.



Our view to the west at sunset. 


The entrance to and the inside of the studio building/barn. 




We have a view of the Hood Canal and some of the Olympic Mountain range to the west in the morning. 


The kitchen.


The wonderful front porch in the morning for breakfast.
