Springtime in the Northwest

After two years away, I'm really enjoying springtime in the Northwest. It's starts so early and lasts and lasts and lasts. All that rain we are famous for has slowed down and now comes in spurts. But the result is luscious green and beautiful flowers. I'm especially lucky that I'm living in the midst of a rhododendron and azalea garden--known as St. Mary-on-the-lake. We have such beautiful plants here! So much to give thanks for.

I thought I'd share some of the photos I took a few weeks ago. More things are now in bloom, but this will give you an idea.

Enjoy!
