Celebrations!

 Yesterday a special friend was celebrating her retirement and birthday with an adventure with me.
Mt. Hood was in the distance as we began the journey.
 I was honored to walk here, just the two of us.
 Celebrating in nature.
 Watching for the salmon in the stream.
We didn't find any, but were told they were there.
 Touches of Fall - Autumn were in the air and the trees were beginning to show their colors.
Tea time at the end of the trail and a celebration
with roast beef and caramelized onions sandwiches.
tomatoes from the garden, chocolate cake of course for celebrating,
and oolong tea for a toast to the day.
It was the perfect way to celebrate!

Do you find different ways to celebrate?
Whether big or small each day gives opportunities for celebrating.
