Even at dusk the white blossoms on the trees were bright! It was a lovely evening for a walk. The trees are popping colors of pink, magenta, yellow and white. Simply delightful!

Bright Blooms at Dusk
May Day 2012
It’s May Day! After looking all day for the traditions of the “May Pole” or the little basket of flowers on my doorstep I realized that this holiday was long ago forgotten. Well really now, wasn’t it fun dancing around the May Pole? Why would we let that go? These wild flowers found in a field were a good representation of the natural beauty in our area as we begin the merry month of May.
Rumble from the mountain
Walking on our favorite path we can hear the water coming from the side of the hillside into a small pond. Many years ago this must have been used as a cistern for water pressure to properties below. Or was it actually used to generate power? The Fish & Wildlife land is a curiosity with various old foundations and cement walkways. A little swampy this time of year! We jumped the streams with glee and caution!!
Waiting for a new family
Sitting in the middle of beautiful spring blossoms is this charming little bird house. It just happens to be in the back yard of a home that will soon welcome a new family. How appropriate that the little house will also welcome a new family!

Bear Lake
North of Spokane off of the Newport Highway is Bear Lake. Today it was quiet except for a family toting fishing poles and a jogger. There are nice paths and picnic areas for everyone to enjoy!
Affinity in April, 2012
It has been interesting to watch the development of the Affinity retirement complex on Mill Road. The mild winter allowed good progress. Different angles make the structure look much larger–this angle shows the recreation building, with the actual apartments further south on Mill Road.

Easter 2012
It is the Saturday before Easter and all is quiet in our Christian churches. Worshipers will congregate tomorrow to celebrate the risen Christ!
A Day to Remember!
With Easter approaching we anticipate sunny days, perhaps blustery rain, but not the snow that came today. I will remember the day as well…..today my Dad died. Even as a mature woman, I am still Daddy’s girl! When I drove cautiously away from the care center, I could hear my Dad say “now you be careful out there!”
Walk on a spring day….
Spokanites have experienced a wonderful, warm spring day–finally! Children were outside playing, homeowners raking, and the ambitious were jogging. This picture is on Fish & Wildlife property in North Spokane. What a glorious day!
Just another spring day!
Spring in Spokane! The Bozarth Mansion was especially handsome covered in snow this morning. The grounds are beautiful any time of year, but the fluffy spring snow seemed to make everything sparkle.
