A JOURNEY TO SPOKANE

 POST # 609

I hopped in the car this past week, and along with Mary and Dora-dog, we headed off on an adventure to the city of Spokane, which is about a six hour drive east from here.  The weather here has been rather warm, but it was nothing compared to the heat in Spokane.

We settled in to our Air B&B, and it wasn't long before Dora-dog was spying out the window at her favourite critter, a squirrel parked on the corner of the fence, straight ahead of her.  She was content to watch its every move.

Now getting back to the heat.  Every day was in the '90's, and we even had one day of 103 F.  Mary was at a weekend seminar, and Dora-dog and I took various strolls around the local neighbourhood, in spite of the heat.  

Sunday evening, we all ventured out to Manito park, which was just a short drive from our location, and spent an hour or so wandering around the gardens.  It was a very pleasant location to spend some time, and I took a variety of photos while we were there.

On one of my morning walks with Dora-dog, we came across some very strange looking chickens.  I've never seen anything like them before.  They were as curious about us, as we were of them.

We departed Spokane yesterday, and headed back to Shelter Bay, arriving early in the evening.  It was nice to be back at the coast, and finally out of the oppressive heat in Spokane.

grateful for every breath,
