Union Street
Last fall I posted a picture of Union Street in Northend Tacoma when the leaves were bright red, yellow and orange, now I wanted to show it to you in Spring. It doesn’t matter what season it is, this street is one of my favorites in Tacoma!

Washington State Historical Society
Downtown Tacoma has a lot of history in its old buildings with each one telling a story. This is a picture of the “Washington State Historical Society” built in 1909 on Stadium Way. The original building cost $25,000 and then in 1973 a new wing was added to the facility. In 1996 the Society opened the new Washington Sate History Museum next to the restored Union Station downtown. When I drive by the original building I always wonder if it is vacant. I guess I need to investigate to answer my question unless someone out there knows the answer!

Time to Start Gardening!
I got the chance to visit my friend’s nursery in Elma. What a gorgeous array of hanging baskets and potted flowers. Oh what fun I had…..picking out all of the different flowers to add some color to my garden. If you feel like going for a drive and getting your garden started, I suggest visiting the “Green Thum Nursery”, it is a little over an hour away south of Tacoma off of exit 101. The prices are great and you won’t be dissappointed. I have always related May 1st to flowers because as a child we would place fresh picked flowers in a basket, go to the neighbor’s front door, ring the bell and run. They would open the door to a bit of cheer! Too bad this tradition has never stuck over the years. It is those simple things in life that create memories!
