The Beach, The Snow, and Two Finishes

 We just had a nice two day trip to Bellingham and then Mount Baker, WA. On the first day it took a bit of walking, but we finally found the trail to the beach.


And then we walked down to the water for a nice view of the Puget Sound.


The next day we went to Mount Baker which is noted for all  its snow.


Can you see these hikers with their dog?  We only walked a short ways on that trail which is pretty much all uphill and beyond where the road is closed to cars.

We thought this snowplow is pretty impressive!  We've been to this area in the summer, and even if it's hot, there will still be snow.


This newest little family member, who arrived last week, made my youngest cousin a grandpa is going to receive these booties soon


And I just finished this cowl yesterday but won't tell you when I started it!   As you can see, the pattern is pretty repetitive.  I love the yarn though.


It's hard to believe that June is almost over, isn't it? Hope you all have a nice celebration on the Fourth of July!

Such a sweet little girl. She's darling and I love the tiny booties. Those mountain snowplows are something aren't they? Huge machines.
Wishing you a wonderful July 4th too! We should be in Spokane for the holiday! Yippee!
Blessings,
Betsy

What a little sweetheart!!! Those booties are just too sweet. I've got 5 grandsons so anything in pink is a treat.
That snow is really something. We didn't get a flake last winter. It just started to get hot here so I hope it's a brief summer. I am already looking forward to fall.

Areas in the Snowy Range have snow that lasts through the summer, too. The road over the mountains is only open in the summer. The cowl and booties are wonderful.
