Do what makes your soul shine. In Autumn and Winter, the British Hubby and I love having a proper Sunday dinner with roasted vegetables and pudding. I must say, I do miss the roasted garlic sweet potatoes I used to make. Since we've gone sugar free and carb free, I thought we would have to…Read more Sunday Dinner

Casting on Mania
Where there is great love there is always miracles. ~ Willa Cather It's no surprise casting on and starting new projects is my first love in knitting. That feeling when a pattern grabs your attention and your heart skips a beat. The excited anticipation full of possibilities. What color will it be? What weight? What…Read more Casting on Mania
Inspired by Orange
I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion. ~ Henry David Thoreau Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. I love watching the fall foliage colors emerge on trees. There are a few trees on my morning run route that are simply stunning.…Read more Inspired by Orange
You Shall Not Pass
It doesn't matter how much milk you spill as long as you don't lose your cow! Last weekend, we plotted a route through the forest to take a trip to a Watershed Educational Center. You can find out more about watersheds here. The route had dirt paths, one lane bridges, very few road signs and…Read more You Shall Not Pass
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

We think this is where the spot would have been had it not been taken down for repairs. This was also our…Read more Welcome to Twin Peaks
Full Moon Running
Methinks that the moment my legs began to move, my thoughts began to flow. - Henry David Thoreau The PNW is currently having a lovely Autumn with chilly mornings and sunny afternoons. My morning runs have been quite crisp. One of the benifts of clear cold mornings is being able to see the full moon…Read more Full Moon Running
Weaving Mishap
A man's errors are his portals of discovery. ~ James Joyce Last week, I was working on my second weaving project, Woven Scarf II, when I had a mishap. While advancing my woven cloth, the tension on one strand became too much and it snapped! If I was new to fiber crafts, I would have…Read more Weaving Mishap
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
