We Spent Sunday in Snohomish

 We all went up to explore the area around Susie Blue's new house this Sunday. The weather was cold and rainy.... What's new. I have discovered some lovely small lakes up there, one of which has some rental cabins on it's shore. I intend to stay there for a few days this summer.

 My friend Susie is living her dream with her horses in the backyard. The boys got to ride (were led) on one of her horses bareback. She's also within walking distance of a beautiful lake with black water from the peat bog it arises out of.  It is called Panther lake. We walked a creek near her place and spotted salmon making their migration to the lake. Wet, cold, dripping, dark, but the Northwest is really an amazing place to live.
