Amazing Weather!

The weather here on WI has been extremely beautiful! This is our spring time and usually we get showers, but not these last sixteen days. I will take in all the sunshine and warmth God will give us. The temps have been hovering around the 75 degree mark and last night after a day in the 80's a cool breeze blew through the house. It was very nice indeed. Yep, this is my kind of weather. Usually, I have to fly to Florida a couple of times a years just to get a "fix of warmth" to last me through the dull months. I'll have to admit it is going to be a bit of a downer when the rain comes back, but if we don't get the rain, then we can't be called the evergreen state, now can we. Oh well.

Sunshine All Around

Here on Whidbey Island we know that the sun comes up, but we don't always get to see the sun shine. So today, Steve and I decided to take a picture of Mt. Baker, covered in snow.

Our one picture turned into many as we drove around the countryside. This first picture of course, is us. We wanted you to actually see we had to put on our shades. By the way it is a balmy 51 degrees today. Yeah!

Next, we found a location that we thought would give us a good view of Mt. Baker. It is in the distance, but if you click on the picture you will be able to get a closer view of the mountain and countryside.

Finally, on our way back home we couldn't pass up a shot of The Straits of Juan de Fuca, the Olympic Mountains and the marine layer that was moving in off the water. If you look closely enough I think you can actually see some people and birds.

I can't help but say it over and over again, Steve and I are blessed to live on a beautiful island and we continually stand in awe of God's creation and breath taking beauty.
