Good morning.

When I woke up this morning I took a double-take, “Is that snow?” Indeed it had snowed again – our flowers and budding bushes and trees endured another bout of Mother Nature’s confusing spring.

Crocus!

Some time ago I read a review about Window Seat and it stuck in my head. I was on a plane this morning and decided to try my hand.

A really cool sunset shown on Baker this evening.

I spent a day traveling to the Skagit River to view the eagles when all I really had to do was go to Fay Bainbridge – the park hosts a pair overlooking the Sound from their nest.

The Skagit River is renown for the migration of Bald Eagles who flock to the shores waiting to feast on the spawning salmon. On Thursday my uncle and I floated down the river with Blue Sky Outfitters to view and photograph the eagles.

On of BI’s annual events occurred this weekend: the Bainbridge Island Chinese New Year Parade. Parades aren’t really our thing, as a kid I didn’t care for them and my daughter seems to be following right along. We had some friends coming to visit however and the parade seemed like a great place to meet and catch up.

The latest edition in the TWL work party series removed a number of alders growing on the Crawford property which, in full leaf, significantly shade the grapes on Day Road Farm – on the last farm walk I noticed while elsewhere on the farm the full sun had melted the morning frost this section of the farm still remained white late in the day.

The handing over of animals is usually a production, with the frantic dash – “wait-wait!” – through the house by my daughter finding just the right choice for the ride.
