“Loving Island Life” Local Events This Week!
It’s mid-October, and Bainbridge Island is ablaze with fall color! We at “Loving Island Life” want to remind you of the beautiful Bloedel Reserve. It is an island treasure and lovely at any time of the year, but especially gorgeous in the fall. This is a place to stroll, meditate, ponder, and simply to be touched by nature. While it is lovely just to wander the grounds, there are a couple of planned activities at the Reserve this month that you may enjoy. Another Island treasure is the fabulous Heyday Farm. They have what sounds like an amazing evening coming up this Thursday!
