I couldn't think of what to post today, so I am glad I waited. The is sunset or twilight. It was taken today at 5:40 PM outside my house on the road looking west. The ridge in the background are the Olympic Mts. It was just a cool look. The sky was still bluish and the oranges and yellows blended and glowed. Yum!

Who is lurking?

Now that the snow is gone and Spring is just around the corner I have been checking my garden to see what might be coming up. LOOK OUT!! what do i see? Oh no!! It is an ALIGATOR. Yipes!!!

The Sentinel

I know I've posted eagle pictures before but this guy was almost right outside the door at the top of a huge fir tree. He/she looked so majestic I had to take a picture. I wish I had a real zoom lens. If you double click it will enlarge. MB

Skagit City Schoolhouse

This is a picture of Skagit City Schoolhouse built in 1902 to replace the original one that flooded away. The whole town of Skagit was built on the river and flooded every year finally disappearing. This school was built away from the river in a forest of fir trees. The trees are also long gone and now are pastures. This school was used until 1938 when all the small farm community schools consolidated with the new Conway school.

It has been placed on the Historical Register and is used for picnics, etc. In the summer Friends of fir Island has a huge potluck. Come and enjoy!

Shaker Church

This an old Native American Shaker Church on the Tulalip Reservation in Marysville, Wa.

I don't know if it is still being used. I really don't think so.

Hearts

I made this formy boot-scootin' grand-daughter Kylee.

She actually does have a pair of pink cowgirl boots.

The blues

I think that is what I must have. Or maybe I am having a pity party all by myself. Our power was out all day today. Since early morning 'til around 4. So I was over on the Samish river and I always see these boats but I have never taken a picture of them and since they look like I felt I thought Yep Yep Yep!!! So I am over whatever. I need to take some pictures of the horses the only ones I have are just kylee on her horse and the minis. They are posted on my other blog. I will quietly go now that I have been reduced to just babbling.
