"Come, we'll look at swatches"

If you can get that movie quote you will win...something. Something great I promise. I'll give you a very vague, probably misleading hint: "Think Cary Grant.."

Speaking of swatches...I love color! My friend MDK made this for me. He let me go to town so I picked out all the colors I loved most {he had his work cut out to narrow it down to this many!}

I wanted to share a couple more photos from Edmonds. I forget between trips to the great North West just how much I appreciate the abundance of vegetation there. It is therapy for my dried out desert eyeballs.

My grandparents live on a hill, there house is set back in off the road and they have always had fun squirrels and birds in the yard who have become pretty demanding over the years. If the blue jays don't get their fair fix of peanuts they come to the back door and tap on the glass until they get fed. Then they pick them up one at a time and shake them, weighing them to see which one is best. The squirrels take whatever is there and bury it in the yard soon forgetting where they left it. You can imagine the endless hours of fun I had at their house with all the animals in the yard, and crabs just waiting to be caught at the beach down the road.

My grandpa likes to remind me every year that the trees used to be shorter than me when we planted them. I like to remind him that he used to be taller than me too.
