Hello Everyone

What a different world out there since I last posted.  It has been snowing, big fat fluffy wet flakes sticking to everything.  It's a 'shade of gray' world...very monochromatic methinks.

Normally I'd be looking out over the water towards the light house...but today there is no world beyond the white border.

 

  The only bit of color out my window is the blue garbage bin.

 Funny little shrub under the snow...looks like some lil' creature...maybe a dragon???

  The woods behind us are very still and quiet.  Not even a peep out of the eagles either.

 A few wee birds flitting about in the underbrush looking for food.

 So quiet,  so still...everything is hushed.

  It is interesting all the abstract shapes.

 No matter how pretty it looks out there at this moment, I want it gone. I'm not a snow person.

So how about a little color !!!!

 I picked these up a couple of days ago before the snow fell and now they are bringing me such colorful joy on a gray day.

 

 

Hello lil' tulip...you make my heart smile! 

  Until next time, MO

Saturday Morning Outing

Hello Everyone!
Hubby and I went out for Saturday Brunch today to a local little place just minutes north of town called Dolphins Resort.  We had heard that it had really good breakfasts and that it was reasonably priced.  And they were right...very good food, comparable pricing, and very nice atmosphere.  The restaurant is located on a hill facing east towards the water.  Nice grounds, cute cabins with private hot tubs on the decks, quiet woods.  So I took a few pix to share with you.  Firstly there is this short pathway from the upper parker lot.


Flowerbeds are all cleaned up, just the local winter greenery left.

Here is the restaurant at the Dolphins Resort called 'The Anglers' Dining Room'.

There is always a wood carving of a salmon in these parts.

 

These are side views of the restaurant.  Must be a nice setting in the summertime for lunch or dinner. Will definitely check this place out during the different seasons & a great place to take our visitors.

So after feasting we did a walkabout the grounds.  Very nice spot. 

 

I love hydrangea...even in the fall they can hold a bit of color.

 

The view is beautiful and it was such a still, windless morning.

Hot tubs on the cabin decks. 

 

 

Luv this cabin...moss on the roof and all.

 

 

We came around back to the restaurant and this time there was a 'greeter' on the front step.

I luv labs.  There is something so calm & sturdy about this fella...all is 'safe' under his watchful care.

Yes, leaves have been falling rapidly this week with the winds pulling at them.

 

Very nice outing this morning, we enjoyed the peacefulness...away from the hectic demands of motel management.   Until next time, MO

NO SNOW HERE

Hello

This post today is to let my prairie friends & family know that, "no, we don't have snow".  Living on the Pacific Northwest Coast has it's perks.  Last here we didn't even see snow at all and hopefully that is the same for this winter.  Snow is pretty, but I don't want any, thank you very much. LOL  So here's a few pictures from my morning outing.  The mountain tops have fresh new pristine snow and they are brilliantly white in the sunshine.  So even tho' it is sunny, we're need to dress warmly if taking a seaside walk.

Most of you will recognize that this is the scene out my front window. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I'm driving north into town...

 

 

 Ferry coming across Discovery Passage from Quadra Island...it's a short 20-30 minute trip across the water.

 

   

 

 

So a pleasant day out there even tho' it's chilly.  Need a hat and gloves today. I bought a new bright red and lined rain jacket for the winter.  I crocheted a simple scarf from chunky yarn using the V stitch.  It is very warm and snuggly and soft.

 I luv the colors of this yarn...I'm sure Lucy would approve. LOL

 

Until next time...keep warm folks...MO
