Return to the Palouse

Return to the Palouse

I returned to eastern Washington this spring almost a year to the day later then my last trip. It was still a tad wintery and the light was a bit hazy. Yet this landscape would shine in most any light I think. I am still in awe when I look upon it. The vastness, the emptiness. The shear beauty of…

Laughed until Tears came out of my Eyes

You see, here in lies the problem. You show me two beautiful images, professional in every sense of the word. They are well seen, well crafted, and well, just beautiful.

Hey Sarah, I thought of you today, several times actually, on rather diverse levels. But all intertwined. I was reading the paper this morning and a section fell out that spoke to holiday planning and food. One such foodie tidbit was cheesy little shortbread crackers. And I thought of Susan and the CSF holiday get together that won’t happen this…
