Interesting fact about Mt Spokane: it was known as Mt Baldy until 1912. Locals take note of the snowfall to determine if their next ski trip is close at hand or if it’s time to plant in the spring. Age old gardener’s advice, when the snow is gone, it’s safe to plant your flowers! At 5883 ft, the drive to the mountain top always grants beautiful viewing!
It’s not unusual to see flocks of birds feeding on the bright red berries of the Mountain Ash in our back yard. Today the berries brought a bit of festivity to a cold, foggy day!
Covid-19 has changed the way we live. While walking through our beautiful downtown park we took notice of several folks enjoying a lunch together. Socially distanced.
Sky Prairie Park is in the Five Mile neighborhood. While this is the last of the beautiful flowers that are part of the natural landscaping, the park is still a wonderful place to walk, play, and picnic. It is such a privilege to have quality parks in our neighborhood!
