The Water is High at Waughop Lake

The first picture of Waughop Lake was taken on Sunday the 20th of March. The water in the lake is really high right now. The second picture was taken back in October, and you can see that the water is high by comparing the pictures and looking at the pilings of the old dock.  The piling the bird is standing on in the second pictures is completely covered by water in the first picture except for the metal pole that is sticking up.

Snow in the Park

(I haven't posted a picture in so long that I thought I might as well post four. ;))

Taken yesterday at Fort Steilacoom Park. On the left side of the fence
is the free-roaming area for dogs.

On the bus yesterday

We stopped by Lakewood Target. We thought it was funny they
were selling swimsuits when it was so snowy!

The leafless trees in this picture are such a stark contrast to the colorful trees I took a picture of in the autumn!

Children's Section at the Lakewood Library

The Lakewood Library was closed for awhile last month and reopened on January 3rd. They rearranged a lot of things and did some painting, too. Things are more "open." Some of it is very nice, and you can see they worked very hard on it and were thoughtful about the choices they made. For some people, though, so far it feels too "busy" and doesn't give the nice safe, cozy feeling that a library should give. Maybe it will feel better as we get used to it.

One area that was changed was the children's section. They moved it across the room to the other side. It's been in the other spot for as long as I can remember, so this is a big change. Here is a picture of it:
