Beautiful posts. What a good idea burying the trampoline is! Our vegetable gardens hold so much promise this time of year. Everything is so new and fresh.

I discovered your blog from a list on Feedjit, attracted by your Whidbey Island location. Is that Sunlight Beach in your header?

Thank you Linda. The picture is from Double Bluff. The tide was really far out and the eagle was just standing there so we approached to get a closer look. The houses in the background are the ones on Shore Drive.
