Son has excellent idea for an outing.
Jun. 21st, 2014 08:20 pmYes, even though I've lived in the Seattle Area for nearly 25 years, I'd never been to Marsh Island and Foster Island, which are between the old MOHAI building and the Arboretum. M'boy suggested it a couple of weeks ago. After a picnic supper, we hit the trail.
It's worth noting that parts of the path are under water at this time of the year, but luckily (?) I was wearing rubber flip-flops and it was a perfectly warm first day of summer. Acres of lily pads. Ferns & horsetails galore. Hidden view spots. Sweet, young bikini-clad things in canoes. And even though the necessarily evil State Road 520 goes right through it all, the road was closed as it so often is these days for construction. It's a gorgeous walk, and m'boy & I walked the length of both islands and then back around the edge of Montlake.
Our shoes and my lower legs are covered in mud. So worth it.
From the Dept. of Annoyance, Seattle City Light misread my meter. Maybe they couldn't believe that I'd gone from using 511 kWh this period last year to down to 376. I get to hassle them on Monday.
