We delivered a finn fleece to someone in Renton-- it would've been easier to mail it, but it was a kick to be going to the state, right near where the fleece needed to go! So we saw a very nice suburban neighborhood, with lovely plantings.
We saw Pike Street Market, bought great fresh produce, ate salmon for lunch. . . and toured the Seattle Aquarium.
We took a ferry across Puget Sound from Edmonds to Kingston, then drove up to the top of the Olympic Peninsula, to Port Angeles. I KNOW we saw sheep farms, or evidence of such critter care. I suggested to DH that we move there and do the same; the green growth everywhere was just so beautiful.
A day on Dungeness Spit fooling around with the masses of driftwood; Dungeness crab for lunch-- a day hiking up Hurricane Ridge--
all in sunshine.
More to follow. . .
Have to learn how to load the new camera's photos into the new laptop!
Mt. Rainier from the plane, coming in

You came, you saw, and you're back home again already! Yes, we've been having lovely (dry) weather lately; could use some rain! There are Shetland breeders in the Seattle area; too bad you couldn't hook up with any. And I wouldn't have minded you bringing along a nice pollie for my breeding program!
Sounds like you are having a lovely time. I will look forward to the pictures!
Well, Michelle, if I'd have known. . . one of my boys could'a' had a new home. . .
say, I have a sister in law who flies for Northwest/ oops, now Delta-- she's not much of a farmer, but I wonder if she could accompany a lamb?
I don't know if she could "accompany" a lamb, but perhaps she could ship one for free if she's on the same flight? I'm actually back in the market for a new ram again, after backing out on the yearling I was going to get. (I'm just too picky on conformation!) I know Delta ships animals, although I think we used Continental last year to ship a lamb to Alaska.
I am glad you had a nice trip and that the weather cooperated.
I can't wait for your pictures and to hear more!
Sounds like you had a great trip. And yay for the sunshine!
