Just A Little Piece of Heaven - Here and There


We drove down toward Olympia, and spent part of the afternoon hiking through Tolmie State Park. The park features a saltwater marsh on Puget Sound, forest trails and abundant wildlife.We've been here several times before to hike and canoe.

It was quite cold initially, and I had to put on gloves and a scarf. But as we hiked through the forest we warmed up. I took a thermos of Turkish coffee along, always great.

George's photos will appear in our Flickr account, when he has a chance to go through them.

I've been playing a few of our old canoeing videos, and I've really enjoyed them. I reawaken to just how beautiful the Okanogan in north-central Washington can be in early summer.

The
Sinlahekin Wildlife Area has so many camping and canoeing locations that we want to re-visit, hopefully this summer. Just on a whim, I researched land for sale in the Okanogan, and found some land advertised as:

....."wildflowers of every color of the rainbow blooming right before your eyes awaiting you to pick a few for your table in a small travel trailer that is included in the price, very usable but needs a little TLC."

"The soils are excellent for as large a garden as one will ever want, with southern exposure and wonderful 300 days of sunshine, what more could you want..."...aspen and cottonwoods ....seven alpine fishing lakes nearby.....and a creek that flows through the property.

I can just imagine this place on a quiet summer afternoon. Just a little piece of Heaven!
