My Happy Place

Growing up it was on the old tree branch that lay partly across the river, or atop Welch Mtn. My mom worked at the base of this mtn so i could easily hike up, and did so numerous times a week. Blueberry season was always wonderful as you could just graze, relax, etc.

Now one of my fav places is this lake, lower Lena Lake. It is about an hour from our home but hubby and i go backpack up often and camp out there, peaceful, quiet, he fishes, i knit by the water. Camping by the water has been something we have enjoyed together since we first married and went camping in northern WA in december. His dad was so made at him for taking his new wife (and preggers wife) camping in december, he didn't really know me yet back then. Now he wouldn't even question it. When he asked why i needed a 4 wheel drive i responded, "well, you just never know when you'll feel like driving across that cow field" Now i just amuse him, in a good way!

Heatwave.....

Need i really say more? Not really complaining, melting maybe, but the garden loves it, i am getting a great tan by melting intot he hammock each afternoon for about 40 minutes and reading (animal, vegetable, mineral...great book!) but we are breaking our own records here and the house is still about 84 at 8 pm. Yikes! lol, i am getting my water in though and not hungry, so a great diet tactic!!

canada

enjoying it! right on the beach. Found tons of sanddollars this morning, but not a speck of sea glass...interesting! I love that the roads, etc are so much cleaner up here...and hubby keeps picking on me as more folks seem to be conscious of their natural good foods and my kind of food is plentiful and tastes better....but expensive! Found a great little yarn store yesterday within walking distance of our hotel, will have to go back though, she didn't take plastic, and i did not have enough cash or my check book. A new brand of organic cotton i was not familiar with and a great pattern book as well. Starts with an S but cant remember it!
Hubby is at work right now but we have the next 3 days off to venture out and play tourist. Watching tons of kites flying as well as a flock of canadian geese that have just landed below our lanai. Knitting pedi socks but not crazy about the yarn i grabbed from my stash, weird pooling (and usually pooling does not really bother me much, this is!) Enjoy your holiday weekend!!!
