Many years ago, we started staying at a resort on the Washington Coast called the Ocean Crest Resort. It was a lovely old place, with decor from the 60's that had never been updated. Besides the wonderful, laid-back ocean ambience, you felt as if you had just stepped back in time when you stayed there. We had many wonderful vacations there with our dog Bartok.
The last time we stayed there, I bought a lovely stained glass window that we've had in our home, reminding us of the good times we've had at the beach. Through home remodels, this piece of glass got relegated to the garage, and I stumbled across it last weekend. It was so evocative of times at the beach that I brought it out and started looking for a new place to display it.
At last I decided to hang the framed piece from my pergola. It catches the sun and breaks the light into beautiful colors on lovely summer days, and provides a backdrop for my Julia Child roses and all of the other annuals in my yard this year.
