Small Blessings...

It had been quite a while, but yesterday two knitting friends and myself went on a little field trip. Down south this time towards Enumclaw, which sits just below Mount Rainier. The day, the weather, the company and especially the destination couldn't have been better!

Through Tolt , contacts were made with Brenda (and her husband Jim) at Small Blessings Farm. They run a Blueberry U-pick, a Christmas tree farm, board a few horses and tend to a small flock of sheep.  We were literally welcomed with open arms, a tour was given and a lovely blueberry loaf was eaten. After all this hospitality we treated Brenda to lunch in Enumclaw. What a most fabulous and perfect day!  {smile}

Son...

Yesterday, we drove down to Tacoma to visit my lovely mother-in-law. We had lunch there with beautiful views over Commencement Bay and Mount Rainier and then we decided to take her out to the local beach, one of my ultimate favorites! (Browns Point) 

Breathe in, breathe out...

Father's Day Fishing...

Last Sunday we spent several  hours on Lake Langlois. We  made fancy sandwiches beforehand, brought some drinks and snacks and I brought my knitting.  A Bald Eagle did some fly-by's several times right over our heads! It was lovely and so quiet...

PS. No fish were caught during these languid hours...
