Rainy day

Today is a rainy day at Pinecone Cottage.

 

So I thought I would share some

blooms from the yard to cheer myself!

 

A post just for viewing...enjoy....

 



Update on Making the Cut

 

 

Just a quick update on how the ferns look

after my last post about them being cut.

They always come back so bright and shiny, pretty!!

 

I don't know how to link back to a previous

post but you can look on the old posts for

Making the Cut to compare.

 

 

This last one wasn't in the first post

but it is one of my favorite parts of

our shade garden with ferns.  They

were all cut down, too.



Driving home

 

 

This time of year in the Northwest

the mountains are still covered in snow.

We are having unusually beautiful

weather and this is what I see on

my drive toward home

 

 

Mount St. Helen's

When I was a child we would go
to Mt. St. Helen's and camp.  We
would fish on the gorgeous Spirit Lake.
When we moved away I missed my
beautiful mountain.
After returning to the northwest as
an adult, I lived in Portland, OR. when
Mt. St. Helen's blew her top.  I saw my
lovely mountain explode and later I saw
the devastation.  But I still love her.  She
is an old friend, and as an old friend I
see her beauty and the joy she brings to me.

For those of you far away, here she is, all
dressed up in white.
