it’s comforting to know that fellow Tacoma residents love Pt. Defiance Park as much as we do.

The gardens were in full bloom; these Jonquils were so rambunctious that they had to be fenced in.

There were several tulip trees in bloom, but this was my favorite.

The wet weather and warm temperatures seem to have joined to make this a spectacular Spring. Leslie and I spent a long weekend enjoying at Pt. Defiance park, the beach, and Belfair enjoying Spring’s Beauty.

Unfortunately, the weather has also been great for the weeds and the lawn, so we had to spend much of Sunday working in the yard.

  1. It’s so wonderful to see spring blooming in all these dazzling colors. You remind me that I need to start remembering the names of flowers again. Ah, the pleasures of spring and sunshine!
