The Ducklings of Clark Lake
Last week we thought we’d walk someplace new and discovered Clark Lake Park a short drive from our house. Though it’s a small park, what it lacks in size and services it makes up for in tranquility and diversity, with 126 acres of meadows,… Continue Reading “The Ducklings of Clark Lake”

A Tangle of Life at Nolte
“Blue skies ahead,” my eternally optimistic husband said. “Let’s go out for a walk.” “Are you sure?” I replied. “It’s pouring down rain.” Still we made the drive to Black Diamond for lunch and waited for the rain to slow. When it did we… Continue Reading “A Tangle of Life at Nolte”

More Daffodils – I couldn’t resist
Back by popular demand, I couldn’t resist posting a few more pictures of the wonderful daffodils of the Skagit Valley. And why not? I found row, upon row of the happy yellow flowers next to dirt roads meant for walking, at Roozengarden. For Cee’s… Continue Reading “More Daffodils – I couldn’t resist”
