Summer’s Last Hurrah – at the Washington State Fair

We spent the last day of summer at the fair – the one we used to call Puyallup – under sunshine, blue skies and temperatures climbing into the 80’s. Rides, food, and entertainers – we enjoyed them all – without masks and without worries… Continue Reading “Summer’s Last Hurrah – at the Washington State Fair”

Summertime in Seattle means the Blue Angels!

You know that summer has arrived in Seattle when you hear the jets overhead! The real show is at the Hydroplane races today, but we caught the Blue Angels practicing over Lake Washington yesterday at the end of the Cedar River Trail. Sharing with… Continue Reading “Summertime in Seattle means the Blue Angels!”

Sun Setting on Summer

The long and busy days of summer are waning and fall is in the air. Smoky skies have cleared and last week’s orange sun has returned to normal. Still no rain but that will come. ~ Susanne

Summer Wishes

As winter drags on and spring seems out of reach I’m already wishing for summer so I can revel in the garden soak in the sunshine and rest in the shade by the stream. For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Summer Scenes. ~ Susanne

Then yesterday the cool marine air brought in giant clouds that filled the sky overpowering Lake… Continue Reading “As Summer Winds Down”

A Fishing Trip Back in Time at Mineral Lake

Mineral Lake is to my husband what Hood Canal is to me: a place full of childhood memories, of long summer days spent camping, fishing, and swimming. Yesterday we made the drive to Mineral, a tiny town whose claim to fame is the beautiful… Continue Reading “A Fishing Trip Back in Time at Mineral Lake”

Berry Picking with Mom

Good name for a poem –  if only I had the eloquence. Regardless, today I had the privilege of going berry picking with my mom. Privilege I say because she’s 89 years old and not everyone is so lucky. Actually it was her idea.… Continue Reading “Berry Picking with Mom”

Welcome August

Welcome August – the last full month of summer – where the sunshine may completely zap you of all your energy. Just ask Benji. For August photo a day challenge. ~ Susanne
