The flowers are all up and blooming with spectacular color presently. The ones in this picture are called "Avalanche Flowers" as they were first found up on Mt. Rainier close to an ice field. Now they populate areas close to my residence.
The trees outside my window are in full leaf now, and I enjoy the gorgeous blue sky and temperate weather we have in July and most of August. Yes, much of this state is currently fighting wildfires and we do have a burn ban in effect, but here in this area we are enjoying temperate weather and clear skies.
The Blue Angels from Pensacola Air Base will fly this weekend for our annual SeaFair event here in Seattle. I won't go to see them in person, but they roar over my residence when reforming for another pass in front of the crowds and they are well covered on television where I see them perform. Instead, I will sip my chocolate milkshake and visit with family on our deck outside while they are around.
The other big event this weekend is that my oldest great grandson turns 6 and my youngest great grandson is now 3 weeks old. So happy to have 4 beautiful great grandchildren along with my grandchildren! It makes turning 100 in a few weeks so much more special.
I am well; having had a dental appointment/cleaning recently. I am well taken care of, and the residence staff likes me as well as I like them. Some of them will be celebrating my birthday with me and my family in a few weeks! Wish all of you could come be here with me for this event.
