Late in the afternoon clouds produced some sky drama.
Snow and sleet fell on the mainland, but not on us.
All was peaceful on the lagoon, but to the southeast, the clouds were menacing.
On Saturday we donned our Norwegian sweaters and attended a Nordic Fest at South Whidbey High school.
We watched tippy-assed ducks feeding in the lagoon.
Sunday brought gale force winds and surf to Useless Bay.
We left Sunday afternoon before the Seahawks had finished losing their football game. When we collected the mail we found art from Isaac and Irene.

It's good to go away, and good to be back. There's nothing like your own bed.

Beautiful sweaters and haven't seen useless bay so active ever. the weather is changing...fun thanksgiving decorations. we'll spend the holidays at my son's with the grandkids.

ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to have you back again, Linda! Welcome! Loved all your gorgeous photos. I can almost feel the nip in the air. Love your pretty sweater, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Linda. I saved a sky one for my computer wallpaper. - Dave
ReplyDeleteThere is no place like home! Good to get away...great to return home.
ReplyDeleteOff season is my favorite time to visit resort areas, Stormy weather and few people. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Linda and what a lovely set of photographs. Loved the photo of you in your beautiful sweater, the festival looked something I would have enjoyed too (to buy some Nordic Christmas gifts for the Norwegian side of my family), the car ferry - brings back memories that one does, those beautiful skies, those duckies were a comical sight and the beach scenes were delightful. To top it all off the sweet artwork from your grandchildren to come home to. Lovely post!
ReplyDeletep.s. I am itching to get back to Seattle!!!
What lovely photos. I especially enjoyed the tippy-assed ducks! And I agree, its great to go away but better to come home to one's bed! Your artwork is beautiful and how nice it looks on the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures of whidbey and the water.
ReplyDeleteSure was crazy weather wasn't it. It has settled down but is not supposed to last---Who knows. MB

ReplyDeleteThat sleet was right over my head Linda!
