It has been one of those gorgeous weeks and the weekend has also been great. Temperatures just up to the 80’s. Blue Blue skies and cool in the evening.

We started Saturday with a trip to Sky Nursery to see the Odd Plant Sale by the Cascade Cactus and Succulent Society. Lots of strange, unusual and prickly items for sale. G picked up an agave and an aloe. We tried to get out of the nursery without anything more but couldn’t resist a couple of items – especially at 40% off.

Next up was a quick trip to the Edmonds Farmers market for fall fresh tuna, veggies and eggs. Then home to make a couple of sandwiches and we headed up to Meadowdale Beach for a hike down to the beach and lunch. It is a short 1 mile trail down and the beach was sunny and warm.

After our lunch we headed back and UP. The trail is along Lund Gulch and climbs back about 500ft to the parking. It was time for a beer at Special Brews.

After our grilled tuna dinner – we fired up the chimnea and enjoyed the evening in the garden while darkness fell.
