Silence – On Hood Canal
When life is hectic and I’m looking for quiet I remember Hood Canal. Where clouds like memories rest low on the mountains and mingle with smoke from wood stoves. Where forests are fresh and damp, and oysters cover the beaches. I close my eyes… Continue Reading “Silence – On Hood Canal”

Bogged Down in Squares at Shadow Lake Bog
Not too far from our home in Renton is an ancient bog, surrounded by forest, carpeted with moss and decorated with magic mushrooms. The trail and boardwalk through the bog is short but marvelous so I thought it would be perfect for this week’s… Continue Reading “Bogged Down in Squares at Shadow Lake Bog”

Postcards from Oahu
I told my husband before we left that I wouldn’t be blogging and I believed it; he did not. So as not to let him down, I thought I’d at least send some postcards to share the aloha from Oahu. Words will come in… Continue Reading “Postcards from Oahu”
