Wow, has it really been 10 months since I've posted anything here? Tempis fugit! Spring was non-existent, and summer was late in arriving, but did her best to break all records for longevity! Today we ended the longest stretch of dry, cloudless blue-sky days I can ever remember since I moved here in 1978. The winters of 2010 and 2011 dumped so much snow on Mt. Baker that the road to Artist's Point was never plowed. Due to this summer's stretch of warmth and sun, the road has been plowed and the trails are snow-free, so we treked up there on Sunday to catch the last of fall's glory before the snows come again. The wild huckleberry bushes were aflame with color and the mountains stood out in stark contrast to the clear skies.

Last light!
It's October, so it's Stoney Ridge Farm time. They are open every Thurs., Friday and Sat. in October and we are part of Saturday's work crew. This past Saturday was atypically HOT, even in shirtsleeves! Lots of families came out to enjoy the day and although it was busy, it was not crowded. We always arrive and hour early the first Saturday, so I took advantage of the opportunity to take photos sans people!
The pie building, not to be missed

Great pictures!! We're off on a road trip tomorrow, so we won't see you until the last Saturday of the month. Wonder what kind of clothes you'll be wearing that Saturday...probably not shirtsleeves! :)
Yay road trips, lucky girl! We won't even be wearing shirtsleeves this Sat.!!
