Today could not have been more beautiful. We knew that we had to take advantage that of the last bits warm sunshine that summer is bestowing upon us, and so we rented a canoe and spent the afternoon paddling around Lake Washington. We weaved our way back into the arboretum and found ourselves in a wonderfully green, perfectly serene, little corner of the world. There was a point when Shane turned back and said to me, “Don’t you feel like we’re in Lord of the Rings?” Yes, I did! The beauty of it all was almost surreal. On days like this, my love for Seattle is so strongly reaffirmed. Lovely.
