Scenic Drive

Posted on February 18, 2024 | 26 comments

The Hubster and I took advantage of a beautiful day this last week and took a scenic drive around our neighborhood.

I meant to share the photos sooner, but pretty photos are fun to share and admire anytime!

Central Washington Scablands

When the Hubster and I travel across the state to visit Son and Fam, we take the scenic route instead of the interstate freeway. It is, by far, our favorite way to go.

We visited the family for Thanksgiving. Of course, we drove the scenic route and took our time to admire the beauty of God’s handiwork.

We had a perfect autumn day!

Lake Lenore Central Washington Scablands

For us, the scenic route means traveling through Washington’s central scablands/Columbia Basin. There is a whole lot of geologic science here going back to the ice age. Driving through this coulee includes Blue Lake, Lake Lenore, and Dry Falls…the photos that I am presenting to you in this post.

The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us. – Gabrielle Bernstein

A healthy social life is found only when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when, in the whole community, the virtue of each one is living. – Rudolf Steiner

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. – Thomas Merton

Kettle River

Posted on May 30, 2023 | 12 comments

Mom spent about 2 weeks with Hubby and I and it rained nearly every day!

All that snow melt and rain made for raging rivers and the Kettle River is no exception.

Since the mouth of the Kettle River empties into the Columbia River very close to where we live (we can see it from our yard), we packed Mom up and took a scenic drive.
