Autumn in the Spring......

My granddaughter from Wisconsin has come to visit for 10 days. Her name is Autumn.  She is here in the spring.
                     (Mt. St. Helens)

We have had a lot of chilly, rainy days, but we did enjoy a walk along the Columbia River  on a sunny Tuesday.

Sure signs of spring!! On another sunny day...

With spring comes the resident  sand piper, nesting and hiding her egg in the rocks...

Pretending to be injured to lead me away from the nest.....

I enjoyed an evening out, having dinner at an Indian restaurant with
The League of Adventurous Women of Vancouver....









Nan, chi tea, spicy food, mango ice cream....Great Company....

Autumn hadn't had a chance to make a memory stepping stone for me.  
She did so Tuesday....

                                                 Thanks, Autumn, for the spring visit!
