Can you see the smoke my brain says that name is familiar.

My dad lives in Bow When I was a young grasshopper I lived on Camano and took riding lessons out at L&M Arena off Farm to Market. We never drove the hwy always took all the back roads everywhere between Arlington and Bellingham. Then later out at Tillicum stables. I have forgotten an awful lot the last few years but I will recall scenery. My mothers family is originally from Bellingham and we used to do huge family shindigs when I was a really little grasshopper.
The snow geese and the swans and the smell of the area always stay with me. The skagit valley has a very distinct smell.
