MILLS LAKE PARK

Went to two different parks today. Renee was generous enough to ask me to go with her and her son for a walk at Mills Lake Park. Took a few pictures so you could see what I saw today. Very beautiful day here.  On my second walk I went to a park right down the street from where we're living, read 2-3 chapters in a book entitled, "Holding onto Hope" by a lady that lost someone close to her. I also sang, "Come Thou Fount" outloud all three verses. I walked to the post office. Got me something cold to drink, sat on the sidewalk and wrote three letters to some dear friends.




 Just realized today that lilly pads actually bloom. Quite lovely. Saw some turtles purched on some logs, but they were too far away for me to take their portrait since I do not have extended zooom on my cam.
 There were some memorials written on benches and stones that we passed by as we walked. Thought this one was worthy of capturing for others to read. It blessed my heart.

FROM EAGLE MOUNTAIN

Had a glorious day today...found two thrift stores, got some postcards, greetings cards, and some pieces of wood to burn in the future. Accidently found the HOUSE OF JAMES christian coffee house and bookstore. The Hagen's, Gordy and Karen, a couple I met on the plane back in February when I was in BC last time...they invited me over for a wonderful dinner and special time with them. They drove me to Eagle Mountain and down Mt Sumas road where the trees were illuminated with the sunset. I took a picture or two of Mt. Baker.


And then here's a few pictures from yesterdays drive down Mt. Lehman road...saw some hazelnut trees.
