Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
It was inevitable that the real spring would finally show up in the Pacific Northwest. Where it rains, then it shines, then it blows, then it rains again. Today was such a day. But in between those rain squalls Benji and I managed to… Continue Reading “A Rainy Day in the Spring Garden”
I recently shared a few of my favorite trees (here if you missed it) but didn’t have room to include them all. So this post is dedicated to another beauty – the Pacific Madrona – or Madrone if you prefer. A native of the… Continue Reading “Another One of my Favorite Trees: the Madrona”
Yesterday was the first day of spring and though I was anticipating the Super Worm Moon, I was drawn to the sunset first. I still managed to capture a couple of pictures of the full moon later. ~ Susanne
