Mount Rainier

Of All The Fire Mountains Which Like Beacons, Once Blazed Along The Pacific Coast, Mount Rainier Is The Noblest. — John Muir

Mount Rainier

I was blessed with a vacation, so Hubby and I drove to the West Coast and spent the time visiting our son and his family. While there we went to Mount Rainier, one of my family’s most favorite visited spots. October may just be the best time to visit the mountain for she shines in Autumn splendor!

Mount Rainier

We drove early to Paradise, and the mountain was shrouded, but the clouds burned off fairly quickly. The mist was in and out all day, but the day was still wonderful!

If you like Autumn color, and like a post with lots of photos, then come and walk with me!

Marcus Island

My Mama keeps asking for an air conditioner cover, and I keep hoping she will forget.  

She never forgets…must be part elephant.

So I finally chose a pretty pink rose print (to complement her sofa) and made a cover for her air conditioner.  

I don’t have a photo.  Mama doesn’t have the cover yet, either.  I was hoping to be able to bring it to her by her birthday, but…you know, COVID and all that.

Soon, Mom!  (Yes…she reads my posts!)

Since I don’t have sewing related photos (I have done some quilting), I am giving you a photo heavy post of a walk I took earlier this week.

I am super blessed to have Marcus Island across the street from me…I love to visit here!

“THERE is something in the autumn that is native to my blood—
Touch of manner, hint of mood;
And my heart is like a rhyme,
With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time.”

“Let whoever wants to, relax in the south,
And bask in the garden of paradise.
Here is the essence of north and it’s autumn
I’ve chosen as this year’s friend.”
