Our World!!

Time for "Our World" again! This is a wonderful way to find the beauty, the fun, the good and even the bad things about Our World and to share them! Hope you will join us! Click on the link  to go to the Our World site and sign up!!
 Our weather has been gorgeous for the past week and I'm in heaven! But I haven't had any way to get around to a lot of places I would like to show you, SO --- we'll look back a bit! A view of Seattle from a plane ride, veggies from my favorite market, fields of lavender and a pair of resident llamas and a beautiful boat off the coast of Whidbey Island. Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful week!

    A great look back, Sylvia - hopefully you'll get more great weather and be able to get out and enjoy it. Our weather has been perfect this weekend, cool, cloudy, and rainy. I couldn't ask for better!

    I'm glad you're having some good weather out there. Perhaps it will work its way to us. That sailing ship is beautiful, and your photo from the plane is magnificent.

    I love your world Sylvia. It's beautiful.


    And I've just realised that Roma tomatoes have changed name here. They used to be called "romaine". Now they are "long" tomatoes. Ridiculous if you ask me. As if people couldn't remember names...
