My co-author and friend Piper Vaughn is here this week visiting me and sightseeing in Washington. On her first day here, I took her up to see Mount Rainier. Usually in the summer, it looks something like the picture below. Not this year!

We’ve had such a cold summer that apparently the snow never melted. When Piper and I got up there, we were greeted with this: (In July!!)
There was four or five feet of snow, even though it was a hot day! All the trails were covered, and no pretty flowers were anywhere to be seen:( It was still gorgeous and we had a great day…until I wiped out in the snow and fell. LOL. that’s okay.
Here’s a picture of me (mostly) and Piper. We’re not trying to be sneaky. I just have awful aim. I tried:)
Hope you guys are having a great week!
