April 15 is our wedding anniversary, and we typically celebrate before and after the actual April date as well as on the day itself. Bouquets from Tim, dinners with friends and family, special trips to favorite places, gatherings small and large, and shopping for garden furniture and art have been favorite ways to celebrate. In recent years our celebrations have been simple, but we enjoy recalling our two most memorable anniversaries!

After five months away from Ponderosa we were determined to spend a few days there to enjoy the fresh air, garden, walks, and visits with our friends and neighbors. After a drive over Stevens Pass in a spring snowstorm we were greeted by Paul, Toni, and Spirit, and a garden that was free of snow!
It’s often said that once fishing is in the blood, it is with you for life. I would add that it begins with a romantic character tempered by the practical necessities that the occupation dictates and toughened by the sometimes. harsh realities of the life.
SALMON SUMMERS celebrates those years with scenes, stories, and characters from my years on the back deck of a salmon fishing boat.
