Imagine

The days (and nights) are full; rich with beauty, healing, and connection with those we love. There is so much, more than can be fathomed, as I consider the many blessings experienced over these last few late August days.



Imagine collecting buckets of fresh oysters on tidal flats along the Hood Canal with family, a first time experience for Denny, Mary Margaret, and me.





Imagine the wind welcoming this new expanse of Leyland cypress in our back yard. Healing trees, bringing the promise of shelter, shade, and green.


Imagine the dramatic unfolding of a night blooming cereus last evening, a show all the more precious for sharing the experience with my sister, her first time to witness this beauty. We sat together, mesmerized by images words cannot begin to describe.

















Imagine a picnic in Discovery Park on a late summer afternoon attended by 4 generations of family and friends.
