Cats Seeking Shelter in the Rainy Northwest and Baseball
After a bizarre winter in the Great Northwest – featuring summer temperatures and record-breaking snowfall – we have now settled into a typical rainy spring. The garden is loving it and new plants are being thoroughly watered in. Cats seek shelter wherever they can… Continue Reading “Cats Seeking Shelter in the Rainy Northwest and Baseball”

For the Love of Libraries and Books
Who knew there was a National Library Week? Well maybe you did, but it took the Sunday Still’s Challenge, For the Love of Reading and Books, to bring this to my attention thus inspiring this post.

Another One of my Favorite Trees: the Madrona
I recently shared a few of my favorite trees (here if you missed it) but didn’t have room to include them all. So this post is dedicated to another beauty – the Pacific Madrona – or Madrone if you prefer. A native of the… Continue Reading “Another One of my Favorite Trees: the Madrona”

First Spring Sunset and Moonrise
Yesterday was the first day of spring and though I was anticipating the Super Worm Moon, I was drawn to the sunset first. I still managed to capture a couple of pictures of the full moon later. ~ Susanne

Goodbye to Snowmageddon
It’s finally time to say goodbye – and some may say good riddance – to February and Snowmageddon. But before I do, I thought I’d share a few more pictures from our epic snowy February here in the Great Northwest! Yes, it was inconvenient… Continue Reading “Goodbye to Snowmageddon”

Just Because I Love Sunsets
It was cold today – there were even tiny snowflakes at times. So other than a trip to the grocery store I put off today’s walk and stayed inside; until around 5:45 when I looked out my window and saw the sun beginning to… Continue Reading “Just Because I Love Sunsets”

A Walk through Seattle’s Chinatown
Okay so maybe it’s not San Francisco but it’s authentic and it’s ours and it’s still the best place for real Chinese food in Seattle. When you work downtown you’ll likely make the walk there for somebody’s birthday lunch; or like I did recently,… Continue Reading “A Walk through Seattle’s Chinatown”
