It's a colorful weekend in Sandpoint.
The flowers are blooming. They're especially beautiful at the Bonner General Healing Garden, which you'll see in the photos below.
Brew and wine are flowing.
And, old cars, given a classy new look, are attracting eyes all over town, even with a little rain.
It's a relatively cold day, but I doubt that will stop many folks from taking it all in.
Sounds like Bill and Annie may do some "crick" fishing today. Tomorrow she'll take a lesson from Monty on CB, and I'm thinking we'll be loading some dirt for Debbie to take home for her garden starts.
Lots of fun stuff happening on one of the fun weekends of the year.
Oh, did I mention the Farmers' Market?
No reason to be bored.
Happy Saturday.
Enjoy the photos and a look at Sandpoint Magazine below.
Sandpoint Magazine Summer 2026 is out on the streets and on the Internet. It looks like a great issue.
I've done some thumbing through and have read a few features. One taught me that Sandpoint will be four bakeries richer by summer time.
One of my former graphic arts students, Becky Sawyer, will be opening Sawyers soon where she'll feature her baked goods and even offer some classes on baking.
With Becky's bakery and the others opening, it's bound to be a sweet summer in Sandpoint.
Also, I was most excited to see the story about Bill Peterson. I was going to write it but decided early on that the unpredictability of life around this farm can often take away from the time I need to spend on major feature stories.
So, I suggested that magazine editor Trish ask Zach Hagadone to do the assignment.
He's one of the best among the wonderful freelance journalists we have around Sandpoint, and he did a masterful job in introducing readers to an amazing young man with an even more amazing story.
Bill Peterson, a proud Eagle Scout and a true gentleman, was one of Bill's scouts in Troop 111.
