cascade river walk

Last week I took a quick solo getaway to the North Shore. Stayed in a sweet cabin on the icy clear Superior, practiced my embroidery, saunaed in a great woodfired sauna and ate smoked fish. Here are some photos from a walk I took along the Cascade River—— X marks the waterfall, many shades of lush green, woodland faces, a floating caterpillar.

I place my bets on a boy???!!

Last weekend we threw a babyshower for Jen and Jay and celebrated their soon-to-be-delivery with friends and family. the day was sunny and breezy and perfect in many ways. just sort of recovering from all the scurrying around, cooking, frosting, yardwork, hosting...
