Spring blooms are back

Our college kid
Popped in to see the quad while picking up Alaina during her spring break, beautiful and amazing as always, not just the trees but her too!
I really enjoy Spring!  I love how Earth comes back to life and feels new again, and all that extra light!

Spring!

After a day skiing at Mt Baker, we took a detour off I-5 to see if the daffodils were still in bloom, and found them at their peak. The fields of yellow are just amazing.

Further down I-5 we stopped off in Arlington to donate, wanting to help a little with the Oso mudslide tragedy. Community coming together to do whatever they can to help, even selling baked goods, so little, but so big of heart. Oso is a place we have such fun memories, my husband even more than I.  Fishing, hiking and exploring, swimming and jumpin off the train trestle, muddin and off-roading, running down for supplies from the lake, gas for the boat, ice cream, beer, you name it, called for a trip down to Oso.

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Finally visited a quilt show

Quilters Anonymous held their quilt show at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds this weekend, a wonderful variety of handmade loveliness!   It was great to spend time with my friends outside of work, even if one was volunteering the event, we borrowed her quite a few times, I also got to meet her long time friend, guess what, another quilter!



I am gathering ideas for a few projects I have started in my head and this was the  perfect place to see techniques done up close. Even ideas I could never had thought up, ever.
