Damn, that's nice! Must be flowers for sale.

The Skagit Valley (east of Mt. Vernon) turns into a vast carpet of daffidils, tulips & other flowers in the spring.... most of which are commercial farms.

CRAP! I guess I know what I'm doing this coming Sunday...

I WAS hoping to do nothing for a change, but that might be worth going to eyeball...

On Saturday, I meandered up north, through the Snohomish backroads, across Pioneer Valley to scope out the eagles, up to Conway, along the secret back ways to LaConner, across the valley floor, then kinda sorta headed in the home direction.

Great day of riding & exploring.

Oh! I stopped at a flower/veggy/gift stand for a waffle cone with two scoops of Death by Chocolate ice cream. Yummmmmmmers!!!

This is scaring me they have been doing this for about three weeks, way to early.

Most of the fields appeared not to be even planted yet! But I'm not an expert. I only found that one field of daffodils. There was a large commercial garden that was blooming, but I didn't stop there.

Sportsguy, if you and the wifey want to take a meandering trip up that way, I'd be happy to go with you. Out of Skagit Valley, I want to head up the Chuckanut via the backway near Bayview Park, then over to highway 9 via Lake Whatcom.

Weather permitting, of course.

I'll check with both sides later in the week and post back. Down and back from Tech Day might be enough for us this weekend - we'll see...

Thanks for the beautiful picture. That area was close to home when I lived just across the border in Abbotsford and I have great memories of many meandering roads like the Chuckanut and along Lake Whatcom.
