Beautiful, green moss covers most flat surfaces in Washington State’s Hoh Rainforest even this old phone booth outside the Visitors Center at the entrance to the park.

Love this so much, Lisa! And now I’m inspired to help nature along by putting some moss on top of one of my backyard structures. Oh crap..I’m selling this house. Okay, the next one then!

When we were moving several big boulders last fall I wanted to clear some of the moss away but our excavator talked me out of it. He insisted people pay top dollar for outdoor elements with a touch of moss as long as it isn’t your roof. 🙂

We have interlocking stones surrounding our pool/patio area – and I spend hours clearing the weeds, etc that sprout up in between the pavers, but I just love the moss that sometimes grows there!

Sounds beautiful!

This is why I giggle anytime I read moss grows on the north side of stuff. Not in WA and for sure not in the Hoh rain forest!

I know! Moss grows anywhere it wants around here. 🙂
