Another beautiful sunny morning. When we went for our walk we were looking for a goose family. M said when he walked yesterday he saw a mother goose and her babies but we didn't find her. Maybe she already had them on the lake seeing as they can swim almost right after hatching.
The tulips are at their finest.
Looking across the lake you can just make out the top of Mt Baker ( middle of the photo.)
I'm not sure what kind of tree this is. Maybe an ornamental cherry?
These folks put up this skeleton last Halloween and now they change "her" outfit from time to time.
Last of all I have to show you the scones I made from the recipe in my last post. They are very good and hardly more work than my old recipe. The glaze/icing enhances the orange flavour.
That's it for today.
Thanks for visiting.
What a peaceful and cheerful stroll—tulips in full bloom, a hint of Mt. Baker, and even a festive skeleton keeping the mood light. Your muffins sound like the perfect way to round off a spring morning.

I believe, that this wonderful flourishing bush is a decoration-cherry.
The Halloween-figure in April is funny :)

Sounds like a nice day for walking. The tulips are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThat tree is a Kwanzon Cherry, the last of the ornamental cherries to bloom, and probably the most spectacular. Sadly, they are already fading.
ReplyDeletethe tulips are oh so pretty, along with the pink tree! Your muffins look delish....I love anything orange! And I don't like the skeleton, no matter how it's dressed. ick.
ReplyDeleteA lovely walk indeed and your muffins look incredibly delicious.
ReplyDeleteLovely cherry tree, we just bought a new one last Saturday. Your walk must be nice by the lake you’re lucky ! Orange muffins sounds good .
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful place, thank you for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThose beautiful trees are blooming near us, too. A type of ornamental cherry (prunus), I think. They are so fluffy and pink. The tulips are gorgeous.

Those tulips are beautiful 😍 most of our trees are bloomed out, sadly.
ReplyDeleteYour scones are inspiring indeed - maybe I will make some for company coming in May. And the tulips! I saw some beauties at my neighbors' place, but what really impressed me were the ones in a huge planting my grandson sent me a picture of, in Boston. Thank God for the glorious tulips!
ReplyDeleteThe skeleton is hilarious. We all need something to smile about. The scones look so delicious. I've been away and have missed reading my favorite blogs...so, you are about to get a ton of comments. (sorry!)
