Lighthouse and a Jack-O-Lantern

Welcome to my blog on a warm(yes,even in Seattle) Sat. night.  Thank you so much to all of you who comment and read my blog! I have some new followers and thank you very much!!
Today is the Sat. in July that the SBA(husband and Super Blog Assistant-he loads the pictures) and I volunteer as docents at the Point No Point  Lighthouse.  I have done blogs with lots of lighthouse pictures, so I'll only show a few today.  We have had really strange weather.  We never have thunderstorms out here.  Before yesterday, maybe two thunder claps in 8 years.  Well, we had storms all day yesterday and again this morning.  It is muggy and humid(very rare for here).It seemed foggy and humid at the lighthouse,not the beautiful blue sky we are used to.  It was still fun and we had many very nice visitors!
Since my only cross stitch has been on the mystery sampler, I haven't been showing much.  I decided to show a pumpkin as that is no surprise.  Any good Halloween sampler would have a pumpkin!!
Our beautiful lighthouse!!!
 
The tower and lens.

New on the grounds.  A great place to sit and relax.  The bench is all drift wood.


A view from the front door of the lighthouse.

I thought this sail was so pretty.


Mystery Sampler pumpkins!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week-end and staying cool.

    I love your "drift wood" bench too! It looks very comfortable! Nice place for meditation...
