abaesel: Reading by the fireplace and warching the chickadees and sparrows in the trees outside the window. #latefallSeattle
abaesel: Covid clever in the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle. Masks are required in all indoor retail spaces in Seattle. So @eyesonfremont makes shopping for new frames easy and safer by providing outdoor tables and mirrors so you can check yourself out sans mask.
abaesel: Opening act. At @flintcreek206 in the Greenwood neighborhood in Seattle. A delicious Fistful of Dollars cocktail, (gin, basil, lime, and Chareau aloe)
abaesel: The closing act. Dessert at @flintcreek206. A brûléed banana split with 3 spoons 😊😊😊
abaesel: Flying over Green Lake on approach to SeaTac on Thursday. Looking out over the Ballard and Shipping Channel and locks, Magnolia, Puget Sound, and Bainbridge Island to the cloud shrouded Olympic mountains.
abaesel: I loved this whimsically sweet mural in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood. Seattle is a town that loves its dogs, that's for sure.
abaesel: Fall hangs on, much to our delight, in the garden of our VRBO rental in Queen Anne.
abaesel: Mi querido. He loves nothing better than a good long walk that includes a bookstore. In Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood.

abaesel: Dungeness crab with my sweetie at @elliottsoysterhouse in Seattle.
abaesel: At the entrance to one of my favorite paper shops. In Queen Anne. 😷
abaesel: At the Fremont Sunday Market. Jason with a fish-shaped waffle. His: redbean paste. Mine: s'mores.

abaesel: Fall colors along the ship canal in Fremont. #sundayexplore
abaesel: At the Climate Pledge Arena for a @seathekraken game. A fully vaccinated, masked (most of the time), happy crowd. Go Kraken.
abaesel: Waiting for the ferry to Bainbridge at the Seattle Ferry Terminal on a 40 degree graying-up day.
abaesel: On the "Tacoma" ferry to Bremerton. (Masks make great face warmers on a cold day. )
abaesel: Sluy’s Bakery in Poulsbo, WA. Operated by the Sluy family since 1966 this spot is filled with all sorts of delicious goodies. In the “little Norway” town of Poulsbo on the Kitsap peninsula on the west side of Puget Sound. We made the pilgrimage!
abaesel: My handsome guy at the bow of the ferry coming into Bainbridge Island this morning.
abaesel: Car with a view. On the upper car deck of the Bainbridge-Seattle waiting to leave the dock. The rains had arrived.
abaesel: Walked up to the Kerry Park overlook to watch the sunset behind the Olympics. Great view of the City from there too.
abaesel: Walked up to Kerry Park in Queen Anne to breathe deep and enjoy the view while the sun set. Perfection.
abaesel: We love the VRBO we rent in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. Today we enjoyed the extra perk of a curious cat peeping in while we were doing our exercises. What a sweetheart.
abaesel: Is this not gorgeous? A vibrant maple in the late day sun. I just love fall in Seattle.
abaesel: Happy being together on Thanksgiving. Our first Thanksgiving dinner at Jason's apartment. A day filled with love and laughter.
abaesel: A gray, rainy Thanksgiving Day in Seattle. Perfect for gathering around the turkey with loved ones.
