In the deep woods...

Into the deep woods, into the mountains... it's my happy place.



We spent the day in the Cascades above Darrington, north of the Mountain Loop Highway where we spent so much time when we were younger. We don't backpack anymore, but any excuse to get into the mountains... we're there. We'd intended to squeeze a long weekend out of the little time left before leaving on vacation, but car trouble nixed that plan. But we did get a long, beautiful day in the mountains, and that was enough for now.

Catching up...

Last year in August, we took a Viking River cruise. From Budapest to Amsterdam, we spent nearly three weeks on the river or walking through villages and towns, and had an incredible trip.



And although I took a lot of photographs, I never got any of them posted. So this past month, on the rainy days between gardening and quilting, I've been writing and editing photos.

Before I lose any more time, I decided to just get them out there. So if you're interested, take a look at August 2018. the trip starts on August 3, and there's more to come.
