Big House

The Clark Mansion (circa 1896) in Downtown Everett Wa. Down by the hospital where Dave is. Can you tell they were taken through a dirty windshield?

Not a good day

Dave went to the hospital in the middle of the night last night. I was down there til about 4 in the morning. I then came home and after KYlee got to school I went back. During daylight hours I saw this giant Amaranthus. I don't think I've seen such a large one. It's common name is Love-lies-ableeding. Appropiate
Dave has Pneumonia they have decided. We watch with hope in our hearts.

Moooo

New baby down the road. Brrr a winter baby. They looked so cute laying there but as soon as I got the camera out they started to get up.
It is cold here in the mid 30s right now--early AM. And now it is raining.

Cold autumn Morning

I am going to my Mother's today. Another trip to whidbey Island.It is cold this morning--33degrees--cold in the house, too. but no heat on because everybody will be at work or school and I will be gone--so there ya go.

I love my pond

My pond is my place I go for peace. I have a bench there and a couple of chairs there. It is very restful. If I whistle the fish will come up to visit. In the summer when the water is lower I see different tracks in the mud.In the spring and summer the swallows and dragonflys swoop down and skim the water after any type of bugs, and of course in the spring the frogs have a chorus going everynight and sometimes all day long.

Oops I forgot the Mountains Part 2 before pt. 1

The Mountains of the North Cascade Highway

Sunday Road Trip

Another one day roadtrip. This time we stayed in Western Wa. and went up the North Cascades Highway. It is beautiful up in the mountains and I took so many pictures I know I can't show them all.
First we are going up river (Skagit River),(The Skagit River starts up in Canada and travels down our state and empties out in Skagit Bay down by where I live), we will hike around large trees,(I love hiking) we will go through a tunnel, see a waterfall, we will look down on Lake Diablo and we will look up at the Mountains just beginning to be snowcovered.
