"Ish River"-- like breath, like mist rising from a hillside. Duwamish, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, Samish, Skokomish, Skykomish...all the ish rivers. I live in Ish River country between two mountain ranges where many rivers run down to an inland sea. --Robert Sund, Skagit Valley scribe

Owlets
Breaking ground on my first blog here, I celebrate with an image of one of my favorite creatures, the owlet. In this case, they are barn owlets.
Today is sunny and misty in the Belly, though the weatherman is calling for snow later today and tomorrow. It is cold outside and smells like snow, but this morning is full of sunlight and green shoots emerging from the ground. My witch hazel plant is full of flowers, as are the jasmine vine and winter honeysuckle. Seems we are perched perfectly between winter and spring, with little doubt about which way things will turn.
