I took a trip down to the Padilla Bay Interpretative Center with a bunch of fourth graders yesterday. It is always great to be outside, to explore the tide-flats and take the time to see all sorts of creatures. And when you add 4th graders who are exploring a lot of this for the first time, and are bubbling with excitement, it just makes it all the more blessed.
Hope you had time to explore the out of doors and the bit of paradise where you live.
While at the Padilla Bay Interpretive Center, I ran across this poem that I'll share:
Ish River
like a breath,
like mist rising from a hillside.
Duwamish, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, Samish,
Skokomish, Skykomish ... all the ish rivers.
I live in the Ish River country
between two mountain ranges whre
many rivers
run down to an inland sea.
