Hello ladies, did you remember to "fall behind"? While I love getting that extra hour of sleep, I really don't like the thought of darkness settling in so much earlier! How about you?
Since we've moved out here to the Pacific Northwest, hubby and I try to explore our little slice of paradise as much as we can! So yesterday we took a road trip to Leavenworth, a beautiful and quaint Bavarian style town amid the Cascade Mountains. We'd been there several times before, and thought we could catch the tale end of fall colors enroute. Well, we did manage to see some color, but also lots of snow, too!
These photos simply do not do the gorgeous scenery justice! I wish that you could all have come along with me yesterday, the snow covered mountains were just stunning!
Luckily there was no snow on the roads. When it gets bad, drivers are required to put chains on their cars. Yikes!
We love the town of Leavenworth, and thankfully it wasn't as busy as it was there in the summer. The first time we visited in August, it was in the upper 80's. Yesterday it was just above freezing! Luckily I thought to take along my winter coat!
Another summer shot.
And speaking of snow covered mountains, the next photos of the Olympic Mountains, is the view that we are treated to from our home!
That's the Puget Sound, and Camano Island that you see in the distance. Aaahhhh, I don't think I could ever get tired of this view!

What a gorgeous view to have! Looks like you are enjoying Washington State!
I'm so glad you are enjoying your relocation. You have the most gorgeous scenery. Thank you for bringing us along.
It is stunningly beautiful there, Donna! I love seeing the charming town...it really does look like you are somewhere in the Alps!
That was one of my favorite towns on my whole trip, Donna. I have been in all of those shops! You're right-WA is a beautiful state..but I know you will be missing MI along about Christmas time....just a few more months, sweetie! xo Diana
Beautiful! I miss the mountain view I enjoyed growing up - thanks for reminding me!

Donna, thanks for sharing these stunning photos. They are breath-taking to say the least and I'm sure even more so in person.

What beautiful pictures you took, Donna! You are right...the views are breathtaking!
Oh, Donna, what blessings God has given you! Those mountains are just breath taking and your photos are so good!
Just in here catching up on you. Love your sheet music ornaments and all those fun frames you have been finding are just too cute. I had some in a pile, not old, to get rid of but now I am going to paint them white and see how they look.
We have rainy days here again and will be here the best part of the week. Time for me to get caught up again...we have been so blessed with the most amazing fall days, so warm and sunny. Still have so many things blooming here!
wow, Donna! These are wonderful photos, you can just feel the air through these!
