Life's a Stitch

It was Canadian Thanksgiving and off we went to Washington’s Bayview State Park, less than 90 minutes from home,  pulling the trailer, plus the border line-up. Of course we stop for groceries on the US side to avoid questioning and searching re food. What you can and can’t bring over the border is a moving target depending upon the health of chickens and cows. Peppers, citrus and tomatoes are a hard no.

We are in the same campsite as we were earlier in the year, with a view of Padilla Bay from the front and back.

This time we were joined by friends, Karen and Allan, who are staying in their newly renovated 1975 Boler trailer.

Morning walks took us along the bay

and to Uplands Trail at the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. 

We had the opportunity to pick apples for some campsite maple spice applesauce to go with tonight’s pumpkin pie, both a vehicle for whipped cream.

The weather was on our side as it only rained the first night, when we turned leftover burgers into delicious soup for a cozy meal for four in our trailer. The rest of the days were 15c (60F) with bright sunshine.

Our local owl hooted us to sleep. I was too tired to go out and search for him, but I got this photo last time we were here.

I’m glad we got this trip in before C winterizes the trailer and puts it to bed  until next year.
