Celebrating the Weekend...

It was a lovely sunset tonight and Mt. Ranier showed up with all of its glory, so I thought I post a picture. It seems to be saying that we are going to have a nice weekend!

How the old Mountains drip with Sunset
How the Hemlocks burn—
How the Dun Brake is draped in Cinder
By the Wizard Sun—

full moon

This is from March 7th. I haven't posted it yet because I always like to have a post or two up my sleeve in case I forget to write. Anyway, I was a beautiful night with a full moon. While the moon was low, you could see a dark silhouette of Mt. Ranier. It was the kind of night it would be pleasant to sit on the back porch, drink a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon (always good under the light of the moon) and plan a new garden. So, that's what we did after Lucy and Helen went to bed. It is still a little brisk, but as summer creeps closer, those warm nights and full moons will come along too.
