Mount Baker

What a gorgeous day! I could happily enjoy this kind of weather almost every day. We'd need some heavy rain days with snow on Mount Baker for water... but otherwise, in the 70s (F), a few clouds, ah... perfect.

I woke early this morning and buzzed around doing "stuff that needed doing" for a couple of hours. Arvin got up at his usual time and after a leisurely breakfast and some quiet time, we took off for our twice monthly trip to Ferndale where he attends a group called "Staying Connected." He really enjoys himself there. I then have two hours to putter around.

Today I went to Hovander Homestead Farm and saw goats and chickens and took a long walk.

When I picked up Arvin we took our usual route home along Ferndale Road and then on Slater to the freeway entrance. I saw this as I approached Slater and realized I'd have to cross the road, turn around, and go back to find a place to park. This was a photograph that just plain had to be taken! That's the beautiful majestic Mount Baker behind the barn. There is something really special about living with a mountain nearby, popping up in all kinds of places. Today it was at its best. So here it is for your viewing pleasure.
