A Summer Day in May
Summertime and the livin’ is easy here in the Pacific Northwest. After the longest rainy season on record, summer arrived with gusto this week with temperatures in the seventies and eighties.

Cedar River Trail and the Big Birds Beside
Today was overcast but just right for a morning walk along the Cedar River Trail. The river was flowing gently while reflecting the flowers and trees alongside its banks, and the ducks were enjoying the flow. Boeing! It wasn’t long before the Big Birds came into view.

Under a light rain I venture outside to the spring garden and admire the faithful flowers blooming there. These are the ones who really do bloom where they are planted, requiring little if any assistance from me.

A Spring Walk at Coulon
A perfect day begins with a trip to Starbucks and a walk at our favorite park on the shores of Lake Washington. We tried twice earlier this week to do just that but each time were turned back by the cold, wind, and rain. One… Continue Reading “A Spring Walk at Coulon”

Trek to Tacoma and Ruston Way
Okay, so full disclosure here: I am a native Seattleite through and through and very loyal. When I grew up here you only passed through Tacoma on the way to somewhere else (usually to grandma’s house) and you did it quickly while holding your… Continue Reading “Trek to Tacoma and Ruston Way”
