Trip to Yakima Last Week

Last week, we loaded up the dog and drove to Yakima.  My husband was raised in Sheridan, Wyoming, and he misses the hot weather and the desert's stark and powerful beauty.  I hadn't been there for over 30 years, so this was the perfect three-day getaway.

The weather was 102 degrees when we got there, so we really got a dose of summer once we crossed over Snoqualmie Pass.  We had reservations at a cottage on Sunland Vineyard, and I lived the country life for three days in a restored cottage with a wraparound porch, a pond, outbuildings, two Jack Russell terriers, and a cat named Tuxedo. There was a cottage flower garden, and lemon trees on the property.

A new Stetson hat came back to Maltby with us, and a new cowboy was born!  Stay tuned for this new adventure.
