Catching up from tulips to today isn’t possible but....

The garden 

                    

                         

     

                                                     Birk’s, living room, rabbit foot fern.
                                                     Garden, bird baths and more.

      

Skagit Valley Tulips 2019

Snow a Few Weeks Ago. And my Puddha cat and that’s him in the sky there above where he’s buried in the snow country at Winthrop. WA.

The forest and the beaches close by

A nearby beach. Overlooking the bay and islands.  

MT Baker and below, 

The Forest  

MT Baker  

The Oregon Coast, The powerful peaceful ocean, the Pacific.

Inn at Arch Rock in Depoe Bay has a nice water feature. The ocean.  

Owners make fresh pastries for breakfast. 

The room here, cottage, 2 queen beds. 

They aren’t comfortable. But they look nice. 

Should replace mattresses. 

The table is perfect.  

Morello’s at Nye Beach.  Hsndmade pasta. 

Good pizza. Good service. 

Arch Rock stand holds everything. 

Quinault Rain Forest and Lodge

Been coming here for 15 years or so.

It's a relaxing place if you like hanging out and nature walks. WiFi basically doesn't work here.

Built in 50 some days long ago.

Historical.

Quinault Lodge

This is a favorite place I found exploring by myself years ago.

I have enjoyed coming here to restore and often meet up with people I perchance to meet and connect with.

Today I met Ann and Stan from NY.

They've been coming here for 25 years from NY.

I've been coming here for maybe 16 years. But they come every year.

The lodge was built in a little over 2 months time in 1929. Trees below are only 85 years old.

I'm dreaming of a textile museum.

Ok. It's only one dream, I admit.

I'm also dreaming of a special community museum like the one I conceptualized and inspired in a community where I used to live.

But on a more evolved scale!

And my sail boating island cabin lifestyle.

And Travel to the Silk Road via Japan, Mongolia (train), all over Uzbekistan, collecting, then train to Finland, Sweden, Norway..( some sailing in Fjords there, inward to Denmark, Spain, France, Italy....

Maybe Tunisia, Malta and Morocco

Maybe I'll come back home?

If I have a museum for textiles and a suitable library to build.

:-)

Spring Things.

Home sweet home.

It's been quite mild so far.
Only one freeze.

The beach and its treasures.

Sunset like watercolor
