Today was beautiful in Pullman Washington. The skies were blue and the temps hit around the mid 80's. When I have clients come to Pullman from out of town often I suggest they take the hike on Kamiak Butte.
Today, I followed my own advice. I asked my son and daughter-in-law if they would like to take a walk with the dog to Kamiak Butte.
Kamiak Butte is only about 20 minutes outside of Pullman. It is very near Palouse. It is an absolute wonder. The trails are wooded and alive with green growing things. I love anything green...it gives me a sense of peace in this often hectic world in which we live. 
Today was a special one. My daughter-in-law and my son are expecting their first child soon....my first grandchild. I can't begin to tell you how I will cherish this day as we walked up the gentle trail knowing that soon, there would be a new member to our family. I can't wait to show her the beautiful area that I love so much.
From the top it is break taking as it provides view of the quilt work patches of ground that is so near and dear to my heart...my beloved Palouse....and Pullman my home!

It looks like a great way to spend the day.
Hi Lori! What a sweet thing to do! Great photos too--that is a remarkable view.
A grandmother, huh? You may not have time to join me in our groupie plans!! ;-)
Have a wonderful week...
The Palouse is a wondrous place, and to be in an oasis overlooking it must be very peaceful. Congratulations on the first grandchild. They are so much fun.
Randy ~ It was just an hour or so....but heavenly!
Debe ~ Thank you...it sure is different from your view, isn't it? Ok...I am sure we can work something out! :)
Glenn ~ I see you are from Seattle so you must know a bit about the eastside of our state! It amazes me how diffferent they are....with the central part of the state being unique too!
