Our gardens are hardly in full bloom yet, but this is an exciting time of the year, when splashes of color begin to draw the eye. Cherry blossoms and tulips are bursting forth in neighbor Yoshi’s yard, conveniently on the perimeter so I’m not guilty of any major space violations. The other two flowers are in our yard, one on a large bush on the northeast corner of the house. One of these days I’ll start remembering plant names…
In the mean time, I’ll simply enjoy.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
