Blue moves North

Blue Elf has a new home in the North, in Edmonds.  He has left his horse behind, but before he ventured off he managed to snap a self portrait of himself to leave behind for us to remember him by.  How did he get his hands on the camera anyways?

I think Blue is going to want a friend....

Crab Happens

We launched at Shilshole yesterday and our fishing did not  compare with how well our crab pots did.  21 crab on the 21st of July!  With 4 keepers, we delivered 1 to my other mother to enjoy!

We got to see an Osprey with a larger fish than we caught, and only 1 harbor seal making me think we should have been fishing off Jeff-head instead.

Once the marine weather burned off, what a beautiful day.  Snow still on the Olympic Mountains, what a magnificent backdrop to a calm day on the water.

As for boating, it is never complete without a happening, such as the bearings in your boat trailer for example. Not only did they stink, so did the algae hatch in the Sound, between the two, stinkeeee, while working on that.  Enough said-Crab Happens!

What a feast!

Kicking off summer at the coast

Summer vacation is officially underway after spending the 4th of July down at the beach.  Ahhhh.  Nothing like great weather, great food, and family just hanging out.  Love that!  New shops in Astoria to check out too.  Finn-Ware is always really cool, along with lunch at the Bow-Picker, oh so good.  Grabbed some sweet peas at the Sunday market on the way home, mmmmmmm.  Already planning out the next trip back.

Summerwear out of nowhere

    

Another drizzly day, perfect for downsizing my knit fabric stash. Who knew less than an hour later I would have new nightshirt all zig-zagged up? The light blue and white striped fabric just created its own design, although it required me to get dressed as I chose to trace around the nightgown I was still in, stitch up the sides and top, then rolled under the hems and done. Now just need that warm weather to arrive.

Light blue and white stripes are so cute!
