A RURAL PARADISE IN PUGET SOUND

Vashon Island is a rural paradise brimming with the beauty of not only Puget Sound, but the farmlands depicted by Betty Macdonald in her famous book, THE EGG AND I. My son gave the paperback to me for Christmas 2006. He somehow knew about my longing for a place where people grew vegetables, raised chickens,  and grew amazing flowers. Little did I dream that one day I would be writing this and settling into a very special place, so close to the stimulating urban Seattle area, a place without any bridges, where unique, creative and friendly people live and travel by Ferry. People who would invite you to come over to pick apples and take them home before the frost arrived...talented people whose little Island is so dear to them, and their patches of land, sacred spaces, already dear to me....
