Vacation Time ~ Day 3 Friends and Flowers

I've wanted to go visit my friend Julie at her quilt shop, Keepsake Cottage,  in Bothell since I saw the first pictures of it in Quilt Sampler magazine. I was so busy chatting with Julie that I totally forgot to take pictures of the inside of her lovely shop ~ but I will tell you it was exactly how I imagined it would be ~ stinkin cute!

Keepsake Cottage Flowers

We took a walk along the paths beside the Sammamish River ~ kind of sounds like sandwich but not really. The cottonwood trees were letting go of the "cotton balls" or seeds, whatever you call it ~ it is wild. 

The ground is covered, and it looks like snow, we saw one yard that looked like it had a nice dusting of snow on an 85-degree day.


The cottonwood seeds are carried by the white cotton fiber, and they are everywhere. Reminds us of a scene out of the Netflix series, Stranger Things, and the upside down world.


I took this picture for my friend Marilyn ~ because she LOVES birds ~ really she does!



The sunset did not disappoint us tonight ~ with a slight cloud covering floating in the sun gave us a beautiful goodnight!


Until Next Time
Be Kind
