We have Ricochet friends who just moved from LosAngeles to Anacortes, and now that they both are up here, we scheduled lunch for yesterday, and included our other friend from Seattle. I decided to extend the lunch a couple of days, since I thought we were in need of a short break from home. Drive …

So Hubby and I drove from our home in Everett to see the tulips. It was a perfect day too. Bright and sunny with not a cloud in the sky. Our first stop was not for anything but for Hubs to get out and stretch his legs. I got out and got my first photos …
My readers will know that we don't live very far south of the Skagit Valley, and it's one of our favorite day trips any time of year. Spring is the best, due to the flowers that bloom in the Valley starting in March with daffodils, and continuing in April with the famous Skagit Valley Tulip …
