Rest stop above the hairpins on Lake Washington Blvd

Great ride but a few too many impatient drivers going too fast for the conditions on the sunniest Friday afternoon we've had this year.

Sometimes it simply works

Icing on the cake

My nook, ready for tea and gossip.

Tulip ride for this year

Hard work for flowers later

Two of the three curb side raised beds dug out, tree roots removed, weed blocking fabric laid and refilled with dirt and compost. Hopefully will last 3 years before the trees get back.
Yesterday was a perfect spring day for this job: showers, sun, wind,rain on repeat.

My own Sakura festival

A few blocks from my house, about a week later than typical.

Pretty nice route

San Juan Island never disappoints.

End of the ride

Chilly at times but snatches of spring sunshine. English Camp for a chilly late lunch near the knot garden and Historical daffodils off Roche harbor road. A worthwhile start to this year's trips to the San Juan's.
