Fall in the Great Northwest – at Lincoln Park with a Blast from the Past
As much as I LOVE Hawaii – and in many ways wish I was still there – I’m happy to be back in the Pacific Northwest for the changing of the seasons and the beauty of fall. There was a chill in the air… Continue Reading “Fall in the Great Northwest – at Lincoln Park with a Blast from the Past”

Fall’s Last Hurrah
It’s cold and damp in the Great Northwest and the garden is spent. Most of the leaves are on the ground, tracked into my house, and in the lawn with the mushrooms that have cropped up. We’re expecting a cyclone bomb (make that a… Continue Reading “Fall’s Last Hurrah”

Rainy Days and Mondays, of Cats and Falling Leaves
It’s a blustery, rainy day in the Great Northwest and this is the scene from my office window. Most of the leaves are hanging on, though some have let go, landing on my car, where I enjoy them on my windshield. Inside, Benji is… Continue Reading “Rainy Days and Mondays, of Cats and Falling Leaves”

Textures of Fall
I went to Coulon Park for another look at the trees and found the colors brighter and more nuanced than before, the fallen leaves making a soggy carpet on the ground. I visited the Cedar River and saw salmon fighting against the current, returning… Continue Reading “Textures of Fall”

October in Color
This beautiful fall day deserved a walk at Coulon Park, fish and chips at Ivar’s and basking in the fall colors. Don’t you agree? For (mostly) #WordlessWednesday. ~ Susanne

Those Golden Days of September
Ahhh September! My favorite month is golden! Squash flowers are golden yellow, prettier than squash itself. Did you know you can cook up the flowers? Yes you can and no I haven’t. Tiger approved of last year’s garden full of yellow and orange and… Continue Reading “Those Golden Days of September”

Autumn Comes in on a Cloud – at Coulon Park
After a very warm and dry summer, the rain arrived last week, the tail end of one of many storms that slammed the West Coast. It was inevitable and welcome. I went for a walk at Coulon Park where the beach was deserted. Billowy… Continue Reading “Autumn Comes in on a Cloud – at Coulon Park”
