Coulon Park – for All Seasons
I took a walk at Coulon Park yesterday, before summer turns to fall. The sun was shiny, and the lake was sparkly, enjoyed by turtles and boaters alike. The Olympics were mostly bereft of snow, that will change soon enough. Mt. Rainier is never… Continue Reading “Coulon Park – for All Seasons”

Lessons from Benji and Musings on Fall
“Benji, you’re amazing.” “Why do you say that, Sue?” “Because, you haven’t let your accident define you.” “What accident?” he asked. “You know. The one that … um.. damaged your leg. Did you forget something’s missing?” “I guess I did! Look at me run… Continue Reading “Lessons from Benji and Musings on Fall”

The Cool Colors of Summer
According to the calendar it’s still summer in the Great Northwest with fall arriving on the Autumnal Equinox, September 23rd.

As Summer Winds Down
It was Summer’s last hurrah as I visited Soos Creek Botanical Garden earlier this week with temperatures in the mid eighties, the sun bright and burning my nose. Then yesterday the cool marine air brought in giant clouds that filled the sky overpowering Lake… Continue Reading “As Summer Winds Down”

Reflections on Fall
It starts with September my favorite month. I close my eyes and see the school, as sturdy as the last century. It’s 4th grade again and Miss Warner is young. Her face and hair and dress all a golden tan; her hair short and… Continue Reading “Reflections on Fall”
