For the past couple of days we've been entertaining our grandniece and showing her around our area. On Saturday we went to Pike Place Market and walked a bit on the water front. You can see the Ferris wheel in the background, but we didn't have time to ride on it.
On Friday we took the ferry to Gig Harbor and saw this great view on Mount Rainier.
We also saw this heron which was a very nice surprise. On Thursday we walked at one of our favorite parks on Lake Washington, Coulon Beach. Then on Saturday we also walked through our local canyon before dropping her off at our daughter's house where she stayed until today. I think by now she may be back home in San Diego.
Lately both our indoor and outdoor plants have been blooming. This is the third time our corn plant which we've had for a long time has bloomed. We learned the hard way to cut the blossom off before it fully opens though because it smells awful!!
This is a trillium which usually grows wild in the woods. I saved it when they built the road behind our house long ago, and it's rewarded me every spring with its pretty blossoms.

I spent most of today sewing 3 blocks for the quilt our group is making but will show them later. Hope you are having a fun day, too.

You have been busy! You live in such a beautiful place. I've never been out west and I'm running out of time to get there at my age...lol.
How nice that your great niece was her when our weather was good. You seem like a great hostess. Can’t wait to see your quilt blocks. Do you belong to a guild?
Glad you had a good visit with your niece!
Sounds like fun!
I put some trilliums in the garden last year, and I didnt think they made it through - but they just popped up this week! I'm so happy!
It looks like you had some beautiful weather to show your niece around. We're hoping to get to Mt. Hood this summer. I've never been to the lodge there, even with all of our trips to Portland!
The trilliums are so sweet. I don't see them back here at all.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
what fun to have family visiting and seeing your area as tourists.
