What a magical experience you had! I feed the birds and squirrels and crows, and hawks, falcons, and ospreys have landed on our railing as well.

Eagles and blue herons fly above us sometimes when we're in the hot tub, and Merlin flew above us a few times when we were in there as well.

I'm so jealous of your event! And happy for you as well!

Vashon Island is a magical place to live. We are very blessed. I found it on a map in 1998, when we decided to relocate up here.
