Photo Friday: More April Flowers (Skagit Valley Tulip Festival)
Last week I posted a small number of the large amount of tulip photos I took out at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, and then promised to post more soon. Oops! But, as I close the book on another wonderful week in the Northwest, I thought I’d keep my promise. So here they are, in … Continue reading »
Photo Friday: April Flowers (Skagit Valley Tulip Festival)
This past weekend, Husband and I headed about an hour north of our home in Seattle to find out what the Skagit Tulip Festival was all about. I wasn’t sure what to expect other than, well … tulips?

Spring Lives!
Spring is here!!! Finally!
This past weekend Husband and I took advantage of a much-needed sun break, down at the Chittenden Locks near our home in Magnolia.While most of the plants are still laying low, waiting for the storms to pass, I did find a few early risers.

Fall Color!: A Miniature Road Trip
As promised … This past weekend Husband and I did get the opportunity (as I had hoped on Friday) to head out in search of some Northwest Fall color. We took advantage of some dry (and intermittently sunny weather) and headed east from our neighborhood in Seattle, up into the Cascades a couple of hours. I had never … Continue reading »
Photo Friday: Purpleness
Happy Friday! Are you ready for some purple, people? (The comma is super important in that sentence. If you were hoping for purple people you would be sorely disappointed, which would make me crazy sad, because I do not like to disappoint. So to be clear, no purple people.) So … ??? Ready for some purple? This … Continue reading »
