Marshal suggested a ferry ride to Skagit Valley this afternoon. The Tulip Festival had lasted from April 1- April 30. We hoped to see some late tulips, but found all the fields cut and tilled when we arrived. We went to lunch/dinner in La Conner at a little restaurant, The Seed Cafe, that served fresh, local food and then drove through the farms, admiring old houses and barns. We noticed a great kite in the sky, and I exclaimed that that must be Tulip Town! We turned around and went to the touring farm. We still had an hour before closing, and Tulip Town had the last uncut tulips for a final viewing in honor of Mother's Day. We saw tulips after all! The tulip rows were beautiful, and being the last of the season's gawkers, we talked with the owner who was making rounds in his pick up truck, watched the kite come down, and were drawn into conversation with the kite man's wife. I was honored with a good day, and reminded again what a beautiful state we live in !
