Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
While other parts of the country are being hammered by winter storms, here in the Pacific Northwest we are enjoying a few more days of Juneuary. While not appreciated when experienced as a cold and rainy June, Juneuary is quite wonderful when it brings… Continue Reading “A Few Days in Juneuary”
I have always enjoyed watching the night sky and relish the opportunity to see an eclipse. I wasn’t sure the weather would cooperate but the sky was mostly clear so I went outside to watch the event. I was joined by two cats who… Continue Reading “Lunar Eclipse 2019”
On one of our trips to Tucson, Arizona we drove south to the old mining town of Bisbee just past Tombstone near the border with Mexico. Founded in 1880 and known as the ‘Queen of the Copper Camps,’ Bisbee was once a thriving town… Continue Reading “A Stop by Bisbee in Blue and Yellow”
I’m borrowing the title for this post because it fits and if you don’t know it’s a song that’s okay too – I guess I’m showing my age. It’s been a rainy week in the Great Northwest but what else can you expect in… Continue Reading “The Rain, the Park and Other Things”

It’s been raining like crazy the past few days and windy too, but when it slowed down a bit we took a chance and headed to Lincoln Park in West Seattle. This park has everything you’d want for an urban hike: old growth forest,… Continue Reading “Lincoln Park on a Blustery Winter Day”
Most of us who live in the Pacific Northwest will at some point long to escape the gray and rainy days of winter. The lucky ones are ‘snowbirds’ who migrate south to the blue skies and sunshine of Arizona. Unfortunately I am not one… Continue Reading “Dreaming of Sunny Arizona”
Earlier this week I found a break in the rain and got my walk in at Coulon Park where the clouds were awesome. So were the Olympics wearing both snow and clouds so it was hard to tell which was which. When I returned… Continue Reading “Blue and Gray and Cloudy Day”
