Today's vegetable pickings - our own farmers market!

     Beets, rainbow carrots, green beans and still a few radishes. Our summer is finally here. It's so nice to go out in the warm sun and pick our vegetables.

     The Abbotsford, B. C. air show airplanes are practicing their air show maneuvers above our house, even though it's not till next weekend. I wish I could get a photo of them. They sure are fun to watch.

Beautiful Mt. Baker day!

Thought we'd drive up to Baker on a gloriously sunny day (how could we stay home and do yard and house work) and see how much more of the snow has melted since my Mt. Baker snow post from earlier this month.

Such a nice day we decided to take the convertible - just click on the pictures to enlarge them

Lunch break at the first parking lot at the end of the road

after lunch we walked the mile up to the next parking lot

Mt. Shuksan

this is what the next parking lot looks like. It's not plowed yet so they haven't opened the road to it.

someone's little friend

and of course we had to stop at Graham's for ice cream in Glacier.

Dick's pick: Chocolate chip cookie dough, my pick: Rainbow sherbert. Yum!

* A happy side note: I decided to try jogging 1 mile when we got home. I jogged most of the mile. I didn't have to walk as much as I thought I would. Hurray my calf is healing!
