This is a blueberry bush in my yard in Washington. It is so vibrant with Fall colors this time of year. This photo is from my archives.
Dear and I are headed to Seattle for a long weekend. We have some work to do around the house and I get to go see my hairdresser. My grey is calling her name…Sherri, Sherri…
It will be nice to see our kids and spend some time with them. Our son Dan is hunting in Colorado right now for Elk with his bow. We’ll see him when he gets back on Sunday.
Oh and we’re guaranteed not to be awakened by screaming, thumping noises coming from above. Dear and my bedroom suite in Seattle is on the 3rd floor of our home. Yippee!! Yes, unfortunately the noise from above at our condo continues and we’ve had to call 911 twice this week!
One of the fun things about this trip is that we happen to be on the same flight to Seattle with Lana G! She’ll be in First Class instead of with us “behind the curtain” but her hubby will be able to pick us all up and deliver us home.
I’m wondering if my walking buddies are up for a walk on Saturday on the Burke Gilman? I’ll be there at 9:00 if you’ll be there at 9:00.
I never know how blogging will go on these quick trips. So if you don’t see me around you’ll understand why.

Hi Ellen B.,
I hope you have a wonderful trip. Please take lots of pictures of autumn trees. Nothing ever changes here in sunny Southern California. Thanks for the info on the cameras! Hopefully I’ll be up and clicking in no time.
Have you met that young lady who lives above you? It’s so sad what we women will put up with in order to be loved at least given some kind of attention.
I’ll keep her in my prayers!
By the way, what is it that Lana G. does that allows her to sit in first class? Will she let you trade off occasionally? Just a thought ha ha!

I love the really fine leaf Japanese Maple. I haven’t yet figured out where to put one at this house. Have a grand weekend.
The Japanese maple totally bowls me over Gorgeous. It looks like a dwarf Japanese maple I wanted to buy but decided it was a little pricey since I wasn’t sure how it would do where I wanted to plant it. I’ll just have to pop over to your blog when I want my fill of this one as I love it! Hope your time in Seattle is good and I’m sorry your neighbor situation is continuing to be bad. What a major annoyance that must be.
That bush is breathtaking! So beautiful! Have a safe, wonderful trip and visit with your kids.
See you tomorrow and I will have to let Cori G know that I would hate to separate you and dear on our flight home by giving up my seat! 🙂
About the text on your pictures – after you hit apply and it takes you back to view your picture with the text on it, is the box “show text” checked?
It has to be checked to see the text after you have put the text on your picture. I will show you this weekend!
This Camarillo walking buddy would love to join you on your walk and LanaG in first class!
The Japanese maple will just be starting to turn in your garden. I had one in my garden in Hillsboro.
Have a good weekend!
Your Japanese maple must be a delight each time you see it.
We went to Seattle once and had a great time. The trees are so lacy.
Your dilemma with the noisy neighbor is upsetting. Enjoy your time away.
Thinking about you and Lana on the same plane separated by The Curtain, remindes me of the Seinfeld episode with Jerry in first class and Elaine in economy. I Looked up Seattle’s weather just to picture you in the right atmosphere! Enjoy!
Unfortunate situation with the neighbors!
PS, can you call me on speaker phone when Lana shows you how to do something with the computer, editing, Picasa, whatever? I would love to be there too.
Hi Ellen,
What a fun weekend to look forward to. Your Japanese Maple looks absolutely gorgeous!!!
Sorry to hear about the neighbor situation.
What a beautiful bush! Isn’t God’s love of colors awesome!
Blessings from Costa Rica
I love the really fine leaf Japanese Maple too.
