(See, I knew I'd be bad at this.)

treebyleaf came over on Friday, and spent the weekend here, a rare pleasure for me. This was to be the weekend that she and I were going to attend Leavenworth's Autumn Leaf Festival, but financial considerations prevented it. On Saturday, we went instead to Country Village, an odd and charming little collection of shops in rustic old buildings, close at hand in Bothell.

The rest of the weekend, things were strange and sometimes stormy between us, but on the whole, happy and worthwhile. Our whole relationship in microcosm.
