It is claimed that Saint James is buried in the city Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, in the north west of Spain. People trek there from all over Europe and arrive from other parts of the world to participate. The two most common routes are shown in red on this map. Here is a link.

Thursday evening there were two talks in EBRG. At 6 pm a retired CWU professor was giving a travelogue â the second in 4 years. I went for the first hour and then left to hear about pollinators, mostly bumblebees, in Washington State.
The bee one was hosted by the local Audubon group using a feed-in from Olympia. No one in the group has the skill to make the connection into the computer and out to the projector and sound system of the room. While the meeting was to start at 7 pm, I arrived about 7:25 and it was still 5 minutes before things got going. The time from 7 to 7:15 doesn’t count because the announcements of group officials always take about that long.
Anyway, the information was interesting, the photos great, and I got to ask a couple of questions.
I have many bees during spring and summer and am especially found of one that comes to the Siberian Pea Shrubs that I have.
Caragana arborescens (fruticosa)
The many flowers are bright yellow and medium-sized bumblebees think they are special. I now have a place to get mine identified.
I just have to send a good photo. Now waiting for blossom time. Image is from the internet.
Three of us pruned vines on Thursday and Friday. Both nice days. This coming week â Monday & Tuesday â have rain forecast. Travel cameras on the West side already show mist or light rain. At this rate, we won’t finish pruning until May.
I visited with Walter, the contractor Saturday. There may be some action here this coming week or next. If nothing else, I expect the rooms that need new floors to get measured. The main room will get a Hickory wood floor. The adjacent kitchen and a bathroom floor will be renewed. Maybe not Hickory but the ancient Congoleum will go.
