La Conner

A ferry ride and a car drive brought us to La Conner to meet up with Family.

The boys let out the war whoops when Grandad, Lorraine, Fred, and my Mom were spotted.

We also managed a stroll through the grounds of my favorite nursery, where the ground was soggy and the plants were in bloom.

The much-talked about ferry ride comes to pass.

Mr. Red and Mr. Blue strolling on the sun (?!) deck. 

Toward Whidbey Island.

Ahhhh, the scent of the greenhouses.

This garden cart was indeed brought along for our entire visit.

The property on the nursery is full of old greenhouses and farm buildings.

Growth is everywhere...

Pub time with Grandad.

Lisa's fuel for the visit. 

All the clucking-old-lady kind of stores you can imagine!

And some city ordinances are very specific.

A favorite stop: the bookstore.

Those free publications yield generous gifts for Grammie.

And then Grandad pointed out a snail crossing the sidewalk, and everything came to a halt.
