A Busy Day On Whidbey Island

Tom and I were up early and caught the 8:30 ferry at Mukilteo to Whidbey Island.

When we arrived at the cabin Jill and Corey, who had been there overnight, already had a good start on the list of cleaning jobs for our work day.


While lots of work was being done inside, I chose to work outside.  I weeded the garden, and then Irene and I washed all of the outdoor furniture.  After lunch I put oil on the teak deck furniture.

 Tom's sister Jan arrived about noon with their other brother Dave and his wife Vicki, who are visiting from California.

With all of the work, there was also time to sit in the sun watching the heron in the lagoon and taking walks on the beach, where eagles had gathered.  Sorry, no eagle photos.  I didn't take my camera that time.

 Irene loves to collect and examine natural things.  Here she was thinking about how sand is really ground up rocks.  She wanted to know how that happens.

 Last fall this boat washed up in a storm.  We wonder who would just leave a boat to rot on the shore.

 In the cabin garden the tulips are fading and the columbine are beginning to bloom.  There was a lot of color in the sun today.
