Looking for some old friends

Marylou Harris, ASU, and Sam Houston State University.

 I may think of others as time goes by. 
But for now, maybe I’ll find these old friends. 
Meanwhile violets and tulips

Tulip fields are beautiful in the Skagit Valley, Corona Virus requirements not being honored


Soon peonies will be blooming. This year I must get a coral charm peony. 
They’re absolutely beautiful they turn apricot! 
This pink one is very fragrant though. 

Blossoms
Above are photos of home below tulip fields then my neighbors beautiful trees, shrubs that I thank them for every year when the color pops in spring. 
Flower people are the best people! 
Tulips




Dried hydrangeas grow roots. 
I keep them year round 
I love watching dried flowers rooting in a jar! 
Wash the roots weekly with warm water and freshen their water. 
Further down, my dried peony petals on the bookcase. 
And cut tulips from another year. 
I didn’t get out of my car on this trip except to snap a photo of a few apple blossoms. 
No drive into Laconner either. 
It would have been tempting to eat out but I know I wouldn’t, I don’t want anyone else preparing my food during this viral challenge. 

I have to say that if you’re worried or alone or fearful for yourself, there’s always someone else in worse shape with needs not met. It’s good
To think about them and not panic. 
Military personnel, prisoners, children separated from parents, those dying alone and those caring for them. Think about others. 
I pray it all just goes away now forevermore! 


Peanut the squirrels names, all of them I call Peanut.
They find me now when I’m outside, ..Lined up behind me waiting for their peanut. 
I carry them in my pocket now that the hunter has become the hunted.
