A Walk at Coulon Park on the Last Day of Winter

But don’t be fooled – we hit 80 degrees yesterday,  the highest temperature ever recorded here in the month of March.  What better day to take you on one of my favorite walks –  at Gene Coulon Park in Renton, on the southern shores… Continue Reading “A Walk at Coulon Park on the Last Day of Winter”

Raindrop Jewels

We’re cold and rainy for a few days here in the Pacific Northwest so I curbed my plans for today’s outdoor activities.  Even so, I found the raindrops on our maple tree to be exquisite and wanted to share them with you. ~ Susanne

Spring and Winter in the Garden

Sorry for another weather post but this morning we woke up to more of the white stuff.  It’s pretty, but c’mon now, isn’t it time for spring yet? I thought so earlier this week and managed to do some work in the garden with… Continue Reading “Spring and Winter in the Garden”

Goodbye to Snowmageddon

It’s finally time to say goodbye – and some may say good riddance – to February and Snowmageddon.  But before I do, I thought I’d share a few more pictures from our epic snowy February here in the Great Northwest! Yes, it was inconvenient… Continue Reading “Goodbye to Snowmageddon”

It was cold today – there were even tiny snowflakes at times.  So other than a trip to the grocery store I put off today’s walk and stayed inside; until around 5:45 when I looked out my window and saw the sun beginning to… Continue Reading “Just Because I Love Sunsets”

A Walk through Seattle’s Chinatown

Memories at Snoqualmie Falls

The day before the snow arrived – it seems so long ago – we went to Snoqualmie Falls, one of our favorite local attractions.  The Falls are an easy drive from Seattle and a place to wow your out-of-town guests.  Or to celebrate a… Continue Reading “Memories at Snoqualmie Falls”

On Blogging and the Snow

Yesterday I was notified by WordPress that I’m apparently on a roll having posted 5 days in a row.  I think my being cooped up here during Snowmageddon has something to do with it – which makes me wonder – what did those pioneers… Continue Reading “On Blogging and the Snow”

Hummingbirds in the Snow

Yesterday I went looking for ‘Red” for a photo challenge – I guess I could have waited and included these pictures from this morning too. As you probably know by now we are in the midst of Snowmageddon here in the Pacific Northwest with… Continue Reading “Hummingbirds in the Snow”

Escaping to Kauai the Garden Isle

No not today.   I’m currently in the Great Northwest, where we are in the throes of Snowmageddon.  That’s what we call a few days of heavy snow in Seattle and surrounds and yes we are wimps compared to the rest of the country. … Continue Reading “Escaping to Kauai the Garden Isle”
