The year end brings no greater pleasure then the opportunity to express to you season's greetings and good wishes. May your holidays and new year be filled with joy. ~ Charles Dickens My last post, I was contemplating if I should cast on one last project for the year. I couldn't resist one last chance…Read more The Last Cast on for 2017
Hiking
Grumpy Hikers
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. ~ Yogi Berra Last Saturday, the British Hubby and I decided to try a new hike. We packed our bags the night before and set the alarm. It wasn't easy to get up early on a Saturday, but our determination paid off as we…Read more Grumpy Hikers
The Scarves of September
You are supposed to make mistakes. That's life. Normally on the last day of September, I would take a group photo of my completed wips. I searched high and low, but my Sunset Cable Scarf is no where to be found. I suspect Ernie has made a cozy cave with it someplace. Instead there are…Read more The Scarves of September
The Hiking Season Begins
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ~ Vincent Van Gogh At the start of the year, the British Hubby and I wanted to do the 52 hike challenge. We soon discovered we prefer hiking in cooler temperatures and not the summer. Our last hike was in May. Now that the mornings…Read more The Hiking Season Begins
Outdoor Adventure
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!

This Friday is an extra special celebration of life with the British Hubby's return from his travels. He knew I've been having a tough February so he brought me…Read more Homecoming
Snow Day the I
Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers. ~ Kahlil Gibran This was my view this morning when I woke up. Getting out of our drive wasn't really an option without some digging. So the British Hubby and I put on our boots and did a local hike around the neighborhood in our…Read more Snow Day the I
Reflections
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear. ~ Lao Tzu This weekend, I took some time to reflect. I went on hike number six. This one was very different than the previous five. It was full of pavement, buildings, more super kitty hats and about 129,999 other people. It covered about…Read more Reflections
Super Kitty Hats
Life doesn't give us purpose. We give life purpose. ~ The Flash Earlier in the week, I posted a teaser photo with two wound balls of super bulky yarn. I know I'm trying work down my projects, but sometimes when inspiration strikes one just has to go with it. Here are projects three and four…Read more Super Kitty Hats
Wildlife Corridors
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. ~ Albert Einstein I love living in the Pacific Northwest. One of my favorite aspects of the PNW is how passionate people are about the outdoors and wildlife. Even in urban areas one can find acres of land dedicated to natural habitats for wildlife or…Read more Wildlife Corridors
