Mostly the Hosta Garden, peonies finishing, foxgloves blooming, shells and glass from the latest beach walk, and MT Baker., kids playground.

               MT Baker in distance a white cone of ice. Volcano. 

It’s a stratovolcano like St. Helen’s, also in WA along with Adams, Rainier etc. 

Active volcanoes. From the ferry it’s possible to see two at once. Of course flying in it’s possible to see all 5 ! 

The volcanoes are amazing. Rainier was much taller before the last eruption. 

Rose first bloom on this scented one. 

                      Peonies still blooming but on their way out. Summer is coming in although in this area July is sunny. And August. Not June. Basically we are an overcast drizzly environment. It’s temperate as a result and green and beautiful. 

                      Below foxglove. Used to make digitalis a heart treatment a poisonous flower. They grow wild here as well. 

                         Hydrangeas

Color Pink

Of Suzanis, Lilacs, and ikat Skies

This suzani is from the mid 1800's. The silk feels like ribbon to touch. The colors have muted over time, Natural dyes. It is a beautiful work of art, undiminished,  even more beautiful I'd say.

                                                           Fog is always welcome here..

                                            Lilacs and Lilac Lemonade, peonies soon to open !
