May is such a gorgeous time of year in this part of the country. We have hundreds of iris blooming right now. Here are a few......

Birthday

Our youngest just turned 25 a few days ago ! Time is moving too quickly.
The title of an old Broadway play comes to mind........

Our Week-End in Leavenworth, Washington

We spent the most lovely weekend in this little town about 100 miles north of where we live. We gathered there with old friends going back more than 30 years. What a wonderful time we all together in this pristine setting.

A Birthday Party

We had a wonderful family get-together on Sunday for our daughter-in-law's 35th birthday. Her twin sister joined us with her family, as well as, their parents and grandparents and a few other in-laws. Here's the cake we all shared.

October at our House

I looked out the back of our house this morning just as the sun was rising and this is what I saw...

Harvest Time

We live in an agricultural area and it is never more evident now at this time of year. We can walk down our road in either direction and be in an apple and pear orchard. The fruit has been harvested, so we often gather up a piece or two that was left behind. Fresh fruit right off the tree! It just doesn't get any better than that. As a friend told me..... no little sticker to remove, either.

Here is a look at the orchards down the road from us right before the harvest.
