This is a mini-tour of some places I've been lately.
Yesterday it was a rare sunny day up here near Canada while I am with MamaPajama. We decided to take a tour of the Mount Baker area.
This is in front of Picture Lake which is still mostly covered over with snow. There were small floating iceburgs within the lake too. Mom said she'd walked around this lake in the past, but not so yesterday. It was a warm 70 degrees and brilliantly sunny.
These next pics are for you, Elaine!
Margy came up several weekends ago, and we toured an historic mansion that houses a quilt museum. The one below incorporated many men's ties.
I loved the brilliant and colorful spash of a quilt this was.
This next one was a 3-D with the quilting done in chickwire-style to match the chicken theme.
The one below was also three-demensional...a cutie!
Below is the Peace Arch on the Canadian border with Washington.

Below is the Peace Arch on the Canadian border with Washington. The park was truly lovely with sculptures, gardens, and slow people...like us.
Mama looks a little worried, but she was very happy to have been to the border to see the arch. The Olympic Torch was passed through the arch during the pre-games run through countries.
My sister, Barb, with whom mom lives is an extraordinary gardener. I've picked gallons of raspberries for her freezer while she is away and I am here to take care of Mama.

One of my favorite get-aways is at a darling little knitting shop.
I'll spare you all the pictures of the darling houses on Lummi Island where Mom and I toured last week on another sunny (finally!) day. You can see the northern Cascades on the right in the background and Mount Baker on the left...they are obscured somewhat by the clouds that enveloped us earlier in the morning.
In the center of the picture below is a glacier getting ready to fall over the cliff. We were entranced by the stunning beauty of this place yesterday.
This is Galena Creek Falls fed by the melting glacier in the top of the picture.
I have only 2 days left here before packing up and trekking on home.

It has been a lovely 'visiting' summer this year.
And I needn't have worried about my garden.
Jay filled the new boxes with rich composted manure from the ranch last fall.
The 'soil' was too rich for the plants, and we have no tomatoes. Gardening is always an experiment; sometimes is works, and sometimes it doesn't.
That's life!

nice looking jam. I really enjoyed your photos, thanks for sharing!
What beautiful pictures! You have had some fun adventures. It must be so nice for my mama to get out and enjoy nature with her sweet daughter! Your jam looks good, too!
Bummer about your garden! Looks like you are having some great adventures as you serve your mom. Those quilts are amazing!
