Some “gift baskets” Katherine made not long ag Some “gift baskets” Katherine made not long ago. They will probably get some other local products put in them as well knowing the business owner that bought them. Customers who plan ahead are appreciated. These are made from willows we grow and coppice on our farm. Colors are natural and will last. . #willowbaskets #willowbasketmaker #katherinelewis #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #willowweaving #skagitmade #skagitvalley
A view of some of the willows catching the afterno A view of some of the willows catching the afternoon sun. Most varieties have dropped their leaves revealing the colorful rods. Some like the Black Maul on the top right and the Dark Dicks and Richartii on the far left still have quite a few leaves even a bit green. More cold weather coming will probably have an impact. No rush to harvest with plenty of winter left ahead. Standing on a ladder for this photo. . #basketrywillows #salix #coppice #dunbargardens #skagitvalley #skagitgrown #willowgrowing

More Barred Owl photos and story. 1) Afternoon lig More Barred Owl photos and story. 1) Afternoon light on an owl. 2) perched high in a full size Salix daphnoides tree. 3&4) Owl preening while perched in a hickory tree. 5) Barred Owl #1 perched in a large willow. 6) Barred Owl #2 perched in a chestnut. Yes, two different owls. 7) A knitted wool hat? A few evenings ago I was walking in front of our place wearing this hat. One of the Barred Owls flew in from behind me and took the hat right off my head and continued flying into the field. It was quite a whack to the top of my head but fortunately I didn’t get cut by the talons. I found my hat the next morning in the field. A couple nights later I was tapped on the side of the head again while doing something in the yard at dusk. I have been seeing Barred Owls here for many years but this is the first time any have hit me. It’s worth it for all of the rabbits they appear to be eating! . #birdsonthefarm #dunbargardens #barredowl

Two large ovals with roped handles made with diffe Two large ovals with roped handles made with different methods that Katherine recently finished. They are both in the range of 24” length by 17” width by 11” height plus handles. Lovely useful baskets that should last a long time whatever they are used for. By the way the first five photos are taken under the chestnut trees. . #willowbaskets #willowbasketmaker #katherinelewis #dunbargardens #farmtobasket #skagitvalley #skagitgrown #skagitmade #basketry #americancraft #nbomember
