Hard to believe, but it can happen. Last summer we visited a pair of Bald Eagles who have a nest on a cliff overlooking the water. A spectacular view to be sure!! They have trained a neighboring human after much effort to provide a snack, using Jedi mind control. Humans are slow so it takes […]

A couple of weeks ago, we finally got the back yard ready for fall. The landscaper who built the patio and fire pit came back and they completed the gazebo project we’d started a couple of weeks earlier. Once I fell off the ladder, that put an end to our efforts to put it up […]

It was a long spring, summer, and now well into fall since the last time I wrote anything. Remodeling just took all my mental energies away. But at last we’re finished with the exterior repairs and replacements. Everything looked just blah, and it was worse than that. The deck, roofing, railing, and siding all needed […]

We decided shoveling a path to the bird feeders was better than trying to tromp around on snowshoes. I was standing in well over two feet of snow at that point. Finally I reached my goal and shoveled some areas around the feeders, but not all the way to the grass. I left a good […]

Normally this area gets four inches of snow a year. Total. And that’s probably five days’ worth when it is actually snowing enough to stick on the ground. Two feet of new snow. And it is still snowing and supposed to keep snowing today, tomorrow, and Monday. Good thing we went grocery shopping on Thursday […]

I’m not sure where January went, but it’s gone. And February is blurring past pretty fast as well. Last weekend it started snowing, just a couple of days and we ended up with a good fat six inches of snow on the ground. Then we thought, no worries, that was winter. A few days of […]

A perfect day to go for a walk in old growth and visit a water fall. We parked at Storm King Ranger Station on Lake Crescent in the Olympic National Park, and took the path to a tunnel which goes under Highway 101. It was definitely like going back in time to when all the […]

Sunday we went to Port Gamble to visit a museum. It turned out that the museum wasn’t open, which was not a huge problem as it is a picturesque little town right on the water. And it had a yarn store. Yarn stores are dangerous places to go to, but I couldn’t resist at least […]

Other than changing light fixtures, the kitchen remodeling is now completed. Only a couple of hiccups in the process, one of which is highly annoying but what can you do when the company you got stuck with from Home Depot sucks. Don’t ever use Precision Countertops. There was an electric cook-top on the left side […]

And I’ve gotten complaints. Sorry about that! But this is what happened. April went by sort of slowly while we waited for snow to melt, and talked about moving to the Olympic Peninsula, which I’d totally fallen in love with last year when we took a trip to the national park. Dan was ambivalent about […]
