News and commentary by Fred Owens in LaConner, a small town in the Skagit Valley. The story behind the name: There was once a grocery store in a quonset hut, run by Mr. Grobschmidt. Clyde, an old drunk who lived out on the river, thought that Mr. Grobschmidt looked like a frog, so he took to calling the store the "Frog Hospital." Now the quonset hut, Mr. Grobschmidt, and Clyde are all gone -- only this blog survives to carry on the Frog Hospital tradition.
I'm eating clementines now. Having grown up in Orange County, California, I love the smell of orange blossoms. I once had perfume that smelled exactly like the orange fields. It was fabulous. Orange blossom was traditionally worn in the hair of brides.
