Tip Toe Through the Tulips

 Saturday we drove up to La Conner to see
the gorgeous tulips.
 They did  what they do every year.... make me ow and ah.
The colors are fantastic, especially against the mountains and blue sky.
 Row after row! I was told that they shipped out over 21 million bulbs each year.
We dined on the deck of one of my favorite restaurants. What a perfect day.

Where Did August go.... and Whidbey Island

 September Calendar and on time for once.
Yes soon we will be raking leaves and the squirrels 
will be packing nuts away. We took a day trip to 
Whidbey Island (a favorite place)

 The ferry ride leaving Edmonds. The Edmonds Light House.
 One of the beaches we roamed looking for
sea glass , of course. I found one tiny light blue
and that was enough for me. I didn't want to be spoiled.
 We moved on to the Windy Lavender Farm. A
darling place with delightful people to help me
pick out some culinary lavender and lavender cheese.
 Oh so yummy.

  
 Beautiful gardens and heavenly smells.
From here we moved on to Greenbank for lunch
at a restaurant we have visited many times.
Their pies and breads are the best. 
 Peaking out at their gardens, I knew I had to 
photograph some for you to see.


 We ended the evening before we caught the ferry for home
at Primo a restaurant in Langley. It was a beautiful evening
sitting outside looking down on the water (Puget Sound).
This picture just doesn't depict how lovely it was.
I was toooo lazy to get up to take a better shot.

Remember to visit Kathryn Wheels calendar  
blog and see all the neat calendars. Thanks 
again Kate. I just might make it through 
December.
