As we are patiently waiting for our "rainy season" to pass it is comforting to recall 3 lovely, sunny days for my Birthday---Feb 23, 24, 25.
Beautiful, fun Orcas Island...Visiting a pottery shop in the woods...
Gram G found her vacation home....
Bats in the belfry? How about a bat in a cup? Little guy must of needed a safe place for a nap... 
Love the crooked limb shelf supports!!

Thursday morning we enjoyed a free "inner Island ferry" ride to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. Just got off the ferry, turned around and reboarded back to Orcas Island. (Next trip to the Islands will be to explore San Juan.)

This has been a good 5 "recalling Orcas Island" days in the life of Grandma G.
