Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Call me sentimental. But last week’s road trip to Bellingham was a walk back in time. It started when we headed north from Seattle, passing through the daffodils of the beautiful Skagit Valley. (Tulips are up next in the Valley and that needs another… Continue Reading “A Walk through Fairhaven and Western Washington University”
This week’s Sunday Still’s theme “Tropical,” reminded me of my own first trip to Hawaii, to the Big Island to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. I was immediately in love. Not just because it was my anniversary. And in spite of the fact that it… Continue Reading “Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden on the Big Island”
On our drive from Charlotte to Orlando last fall we were welcomed into the sunshine state with very little sunshine. But rainy or not we were determined to stop by St. Augustine, founded in 1565 and the oldest city in America. More precisely, according… Continue Reading “A Walk through St. Augustine and Castillo de San Marcos”

When you work downtown you’ll likely make the walk there for somebody’s birthday lunch; or like I did recently,… Continue Reading “A Walk through Seattle’s Chinatown”
I think I’ll make up a new color since I can’t decide what it is. Aquamarine? Turquoise? Teal? All I know is that I love, love, love the beautiful lakes of the Canadian Rockies. And so for this week’s Fun Foto Challenge I give… Continue Reading “Canadian Rocky Green and Blue”
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”
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”
