Stan and I just love the Northwest.
He promised me a trip to
Washington and Oregon when he retired.
So, he bought us tickets on Southwest
and we were on the plane last week.
Washington was having their annual
Flower & Garden Show
at the
Washington State Convention Center.
We flew into Seattle
and it was a beautiful clear day.
You could see for miles!!
After we landed,
we decided to take a road trip to one of our favorite nurseries,
Christianson's Nursery in Mt. Vernon.
The weather was just perfect for sightseeing!
It was a photographers dream.
We saw lots of old barns and structures.
We were in Heaven!!
Last year at this same time,
we saw Snow Geese in La Conner and they were back.
Thousands of Snow Geese
migrate each winter to the
Skagit River Valley near La Conner
in Washington State.
There are also Trumpeters and Tundra Swans
which love the rich farmland.
Stan couldn't take enough photos of the birds,
there were so many of them.
Just Beautiful!!
Our next stop was
Christianson's Nursery in Mt. Vernon.
Their Primrose Store
has everything I love!!
We met Laura, who
designs and puts together all their displays.
I just love the pretty vignettes!
Christianson's has the most beautiful Greenhouses.
It was a fun day at the Nursery.
I'll be sharing more photos of our trip on the next post.
