The three of us stood by the large rain gauge talking for a spell. In the rain. Refreshing.

Views From Home

Strait of Juan de Fuca , Salish Sea, Rivers, Blue Flax, pasqueflower flowers, cats.

Unexpected Company and a trip to LaConner (tulips) and Bowman Bay hike.

A feast afterwards of traditional NW cuisine , fresh halibut, thnx Bob and Dungeness crab, thanks again Bob.

Beautiful fresh Washington state asparagus, with shallots and vegetable bullion. and large delicious Brussels sprouts in a curry sauce.

Tulips were beautiful, visited Christiansons nursery too,. and Snowgoose produce. A really sweet hike and putting together a feast, after 3 hours sleep last night I'm really tired.
Sorry no photos of 12 crabs and 45 lbs of halibut. Or dinner.

Seattle, it's Saturday Night

This was my main blog for a long time...

I used my blogs doing HTML to experiment with color borders and interesting sidebars, and seasonally changing colors etc. Basically to create new exciting looks.

So I had 5-6 blogs I worked on
My sidebars on this one was extensive.

The blog ended up usually being turquoise and blue and ? I've forgotten. When google took over I lost everything. And interestingly google was all over my blogs every single day. Often off and on all day.
Then they came out with colors to change backgrounds etc and patterns. The stuff I was always messing around with.
So I think they were using my ideas.
It's ok. I was learning for me. I have many more inventions where those came from.
So if you're here, this blog prob has same photos as my other blogs. Some do. Some don't.

The idea was never to make a splash in the blog world. It was experimentation and learning.

Inside to out

A small journey into the still quiet night and Rosehill, then Mukilteo Train Station.

From cozy comforts by the fire, and reminders of a friends collecting seashells, and sea glass, a memory only now is left for me since she's gone now. Dorothy was a good friend, and it's sad at this point remembering
Our walks and talks, train trips, collections, plays, museums, and films. . The best of what we shared.

Sigh.
Losses become more wrenching with all the others that arise at such a time.

Trumpeter Swans, calendula, frittalaria, ranunculus and more, in the Skagit Valley

Christmas all boxed up..a New Year...

Taking the tree down a little each day was a nice pace in that account. Everything's boxed up now!

Away for awhile visiting. Returning to snow
