Wordless Wednesday

This is my first post as part of the Wordless Wednesday meme. Yes, I've been lurking on everyone's sites in previous weeks, but today I finally decided to just jump on in.

Today's photo features Rainier cherries -- a treat in Washington State only once a year. I'm eating some right now. 

Yummy!

The Mountain Is Out

          I live in the Pacific Northwest, a little south of Seattle. As you may have heard, we have rain here. A lot. During a typical winter, we may not see the sun for a couple of weeks at a time. So when the gift of a nice day comes along and we venture out into the countryside, it's a thrill to see The Mountain on the horizon. In case you haven't guessed, "The Mountain" is what people up here call Mount Rainier. 
          Today my friend Nan and I drove to Enumclaw, a little town in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, to have lunch. Here's the view we saw along the way. Although I already have dozens of photos of The Mountain, I just had to stop and take a few more because it may be a while before I can say ...
          The Mountain is out!
