60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey: Trekking Trillium Woods.

<p>Hello to you in <a href="https://visitburlingtonwa.com/">Burlington, Washington</a>! </p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.</p><p>I went trekking in <a href="https://www.wclt.org/projects/trillium-community-forest/">Trillium Woods</a> the other day to get a reprieve from the hectic hurly burly that’s become my island what with the many, many post-COVID tourists visiting from away.    </p><p>As I walked along the dirt and grass path with native blackberries beginning to ripen in the sun I came upon a threesome strolling along, an elderly couple and a younger woman. Perhaps grandparents and their granddaughter? I could hear bits of conversation about summers past until the older gentleman turned and beckoned me to walk ahead. “<i>We’re just rambling and reminiscing</i>,” he said.</p><p>What a nice word: Reminisce. To remember. I remember that my dad was fond of quoting this line: “<i>Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language</i>.” [Henry James]</p><p><i>This is the place to thrive together.
