Rainy Day in a Tulip Field
The tulips are slow to bloom this year in Washington’s Skagit Valley due to the unseasonably cool weather. I hope to make it up north to see them when they do. But last year we stopped by the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Oregon,… Continue Reading “Rainy Day in a Tulip Field”
A Road Trip to Wenatchee with a Peek at the Peaks and Wildlife
There were two days of promised good weather, so we took advantage and headed to Wenatchee for the night. We took our favorite route over the Cascades on Highway 2, and it wasn’t long before we got a ‘peek’ at the craggy ‘peak’ of… Continue Reading “A Road Trip to Wenatchee with a Peek at the Peaks and Wildlife”
I’d Rather Be in Arizona!
Earlier this week I was loving springtime in the Pacific Northwest. I went for a walk at Coulon Park and enjoyed brilliant blues skies, happy birds, and a joyful turtle! And I thought to myself, ‘there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than here, right… Continue Reading “I’d Rather Be in Arizona!”

Hood Canal, Dosewallips, and Eagles!
A few days away does wonders for the soul and so it was we found ourselves on Hood Canal last week. We stopped at Dosewallips State Park in Brinnon, next door to where my mom lived for many years. Indeed, all of this scenery… Continue Reading “Hood Canal, Dosewallips, and Eagles!”
Pelicans and the Wreck of the Peter Iredale

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”
