The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by the mountain, he is inspired by it. ~ William Arthur Ward 2017 is the year of outdoor adventure! The British Hubby and I vowed to hike 52 hikes this year. We are off track slightly for that goal, but getting into mother nature more is the ultimate…Read more Outdoor Adventure

Weekend Forecast: Sunny
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. ~ Victor Hugo We've had record breaking rainfall in the PNW this year so it's exciting to see sun forecasted this weekend. The British Hubby and I are celebrating life with iced tea and rhubarb compote. Rhubarb is traditionally thought of as fruit, but…Read more Weekend Forecast: Sunny
Saturday Night @ the Movies
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. ~ Gone with the Wind Saturday is movie night at our house. Normally, we have pizza, beer and watch movies. The kitties love it for the hours of snuggle time. I love for the quality knitting time. The British Hubby loves it because we have movie quality…Read more Saturday Night @ the Movies
Think Thin Thoughts
You are what you eat, so don't be fast, cheap, easy or fake. It's the weekend! Normally, the British Hubby and I celebrate life on the weekends with drinks and cake. However, this week we're celebrating with a vanilla spinach smoothie. Yum! Okay, it's not quite the same as cake, but we both felt it…Read more Think Thin Thoughts
May’s First Liberated Orphans
Strength and growth come only through continous effort and struggle. ~ Napoleon Hill My knitting time has been scares these past few weeks. Granted this is just a finished hat, but it feels like a huge accomplishment. I did have to chuckle as it's no longer hat weather in the PNW, and I might already…Read more May’s First Liberated Orphans

The British Hubby and I sort of fell off the wagon on our 52 hike challenge. Slowly our healthy diets and workout routines also went out the…Read more Spring Cleaning
Belated May Day
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. ~ Robert Frost This describes the start of May here in the PNW. I must admit, I sort of enjoy the rain. I suffer from seasonal allergies so the longer the rainy season lets, the better I can breathe. Normally, the British Hubby and I celebrate…Read more Belated May Day
April Recap
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places. It's the last day of April. Where did the month go? This month the day job has creeped into my weekends and evenings. It put quite the damper on my crafting time. This morning, I only had two finished projects. So I went through…Read more April Recap
The Return of Steve & Stevette
Let nature be your teacher. ~ William Wordsworth A few weeks ago, I noticed the return of Steve and Stevette, our yard bunny couple. Their appearance always signifies the start of Spring. I mistakenly thought they hibernated over the winter, but after a little research I discovered rabbits do not hibernate. You can learn more…Read more The Return of Steve & Stevette
Weekend Rewards
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. This was a short weekend for me. While the British Hubby returned home on Friday (always cause for celebrations), I had a surprise project land on my workload that required some work…Read more Weekend Rewards
