Mosaic Monday and the Bloedel Reserve
We had an unexpected day off on Thursday and it wasn't raining for a change, so we opted to get out of the city for a few hours. The islands are always a number one choice, and I'd never been to Bainbridge. Not wanting to drive, I did a bit of research and came up with a public transportation plan which proved to be cheap and convenient. I was skeptical about travel from the ferry terminal on the island north to the Bloedel Reserve and convinced we'd have to wait around for hours - then I found the Dial-a-Ride service which is AMAZING! For $1.50 each way, we were picked up from the terminal then driven up to Bloedel, and then we chose a time to be at the bus stop for the return trip. I'm sure it's one of those little pockets in the transportation system which has been overlooked by the bean counters (I'm not sure how it's profitable...) - but we were impressed and very thankful!
The Reserve itself was just magical. It wasn't overcrowded at all and for much of the time hubbie and I were alone, wandering along mossy paths beneath a canopy of trees. There's something about the color green which is easy on the eye and calming to the spirit; the moss garden in particular beckoned to me to curl up with a book and take a nap.

We stopped in a little waterfront bar for lunch on the way back then boarded the ferry. The crossing was a time to readjust to the prospect of the city again, which was busy and hot. The time out of it all felt like a real investment in ourselves - there was plenty we could or should have been getting on with at home; instead we just sat. I don't think we do enough of that - maybe we've forgotten how to. I thought of this poem, which is a favorite:
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
