Our World!!!

We've had a little sun this week, but it still feels like early March instead of mid June! I did get to go to one of my favorite places, the City Park in Bellevue and it is as delightful as ever! Hope you enjoy the visit!



Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Don't go through life, grow through life.

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

    OMG is there nothing you can’t do, Sylvia! I am very impressed with the header where you are being crowned. Also, enjoyed the quote from Hannah More because forgiveness can be difficult to achieve but so well worth it in the end.

    That is indeed an attractive park in the middle of a large city. Hopefully you'll get more sun this week, I'm sure Sam would love to run around in some sunshine. Have a great week!

    I love the look of Bellingham City Park Sylvia, it seems like a marvelous green space, gorgeous gardens. and I too like the look of the three sculptures in the first image, ladies I presume!

    I'm glad you got some sunshine. The park is beautiful. It looks as if the trees and grass didn't mind the chilly temperatures at all.

    Hi there - I like the stone statues. They have a good texture.

    Yes, the beach was cold, but that’s why some wise soul invented gloves and hats!

    Cheers - Stewart M

    Hi Sylvia...what a fun header! The city images with nice green lawns and trees are very pretty. My niece just got married and she and her husby moved to Spokane. She is loving the state of WA very much~
