(I can't believe that I've lived here for eleven years and have never been to this island jewel.) It was pure magic with two four-year-olds who delighted in exploring the rhoddedenderon gardens on this brisk spring day. The daffodils were in perfect bloom and some of the thousands of rhoddys they must have there were starting to bloom, too. The fifty-year-old Rhododendron Fortunei, however, was in full bloom and was the most spectacular rhododendron I have ever laid eyes on. (Ben and Chloe sat on a bench on front of it for a picture which is included in the below slideshow.)<br><br>Kristi, the Meerkerk Director, sang flower-related songs to the kids, their eyes were as big as saucers as they watched and listened with delight and wonder. The festival of flowers and fairies offered so much to these little ones and I was utterly absorbed and immensely fulfilled watching them digest such a deliciously vivid and magical day. I know that I'll be back soon to visit the Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens–after all, the rhoddys are only just beginning to blossom.<br><br>Magic Slideshow is below the picture–it may take several seconds to load, just be patient. :)<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 14:39:01 -0700 http://homepage.mac.com/jmjuneau/iblog/B610321792/C20090419143733/E20090419143901/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/jmjuneau/iblog/B610321792/C20090126140227/E20090126140300/index.html <br>Happy New Year from our family to yours!

With a party of course. Today we headed to Susan and Larry's around the corner for a Winter Solstice Party. Their hills provided fabulous fun for sledding. We all took turns going down the hills at Larry & Susan's. Chloe was completely fearless and wanted to go down again and again. She loves the snow!<br><br><br><br><br> <br> <br> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 23:04:36 -0800 http://homepage.mac.com/jmjuneau/iblog/B610321792/C20081221121111/E20081221230436/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/jmjuneau/iblog/B610321792/C20081221121111/E20081221121129/index.html <br>Here's a collection of photos taken on our property (we're snowed in) this past week, December 17-20, here on south Whidbey Island.<br><br><br> <br> <br> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 12:11:29 -0800 http://homepage.mac.com/jmjuneau/iblog/B610321792/C20081221121111/E20081221121129/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/jmjuneau/iblog/B610321792/C20081221121111/E20090101142016/index.html <br>One of these days I'll get Chloe's Santa picture up here but for now here's my new nephew's first Santa visit.
