A horse and Mt. Baker
1. It has been 8 months yesterday since my emergency back surgery - I am progressing nicely, even though slowly. I walked a mile the other day (can't do that every time, but now and then, and it will only get longer)
Canada Geese on the lake near our house
Someone has built a small Space Needle in their yard
3. Today I made 2 batches of Blazberry Jam - mostly raspberry juice and a cup or so of crushed blackberries - so it is sort of a jelly/jam - and ever so delicious. My house smells good - and for lunch I think I'll have a peanut butter and jam sandwich - half peach jam and half blazberry jam.
Pretty pink roses
4. I am making some pillows out of vintage embroidered dresser scarves - to go with the vintage chenille bedspread that I got at a yard sale for 5.00.
Hydrangea

Have a great weekend! (I know you will take lots of pictures).
Lovely photo of the roses, I really like the sound of your peach jam and you post the recipe please.
Well, all your photos are marvelous! Those pink roses are exquisite. :) The jam sounds yummy.. both kinds! Now i'm craving a sandwich just like yours. You have a wonderful weekend planned! Enjoy!
Your lifestyle sounds so appealing. Once get our house sold and buy an rv we will be heading north to Ore and Wa. I have a son and his family in Snohomish.
My great grandmother used to cook jams and jellies. Grape and strawberry, it seems...and boy, did the house smell great! I don't remember ever eating any....she must have been making it for her and my great grandfather and didn't have any to spare. I know she wasn't stingy!
Is there anything better, in the middle of the afternoon, than a glass of ice cold milk and a peanut butter and homemade jelly sandwich?
Love the rose shot, and the hydrangea, too. Homemade jam - yum!!
Have a good weekend! We're headed to visit friends in Vancouver, WA. Road trip!
YUM that jam sounds good! :)
I love these 'Random Fives' they are so fun! The jam sounds so yummy and I can just imagine the delicious smells in your kitchen! All your photos are beautiful. I did a double take on the mini space needle - that is great! I want one! Sounds like a lovely family time this weekend. Hugs, xo
That Space Needle sculpture is wonderful!
