Mother's Day

Call me sentimental, but Mother's Day means very much to me.   And the adorable daughter and the adorable boyfriend made sure that their mothers had a special day.......

We were taken to a spectacular and divine lunch at the Oyster Bar on scenic Chuckanut Drive and then for a lazy drive into the beautiful farmland of the Skagit Valley.  The San Juan Islands in the background and the quirky little towns are magical.  Edison is the village pictured above.

I'm working again.  Mini sculptures.

I'm eating those gorgeous morrels!

this afternoon light is surreal

It turns a spring green tree to gold

he sees me watching him steal the birds' suet

I tell him to skedaddle!
