When snow falls, nature listens. There is something about snow that quiets the entire world. The morning commute conditions were actually worse than yesterday's. Not surprising since it's about 10 degrees colder than yesterday. Eek, it's cold! Today's view looks pretty similar to yesterday's. Does it look any colder? The view out the front window…Read more Snow Day: The Second

Snow Day: The First
When it snows you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels. It's the first snow day of 2020. It's rare my house has snow in January. Yes, it's winter and it's cold, but normally the snow level stays at a higher elevation. Traditionally, we've not been house bound until February, but an arctic storm…Read more Snow Day: The First
Blue Monday
Monday is a fresh a start. It's never to late to dig in and begin a new journey of success. It's Monday again dear followers. I'm rather enjoying our Monday theme songs. Today's is brought to you by New Order. It's Blue Monday if you couldn't guess. The British Hubby and I have been jamming…Read more Blue Monday
Rainy Days and Mondays
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger. ~ Saint Basil Over the weekend, we had a proper thunderstorm. If you're from the South or the Midwest, you know what I'm talking about. If you're from the PNW, you have…Read more Rainy Days and Mondays
Back in the Saddle Again
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. ~ Ernest Hemingway I know I'm behind on posts about conspiracy theories, movies and my favorite footy team, but some times one just has to get outside and enjoy…Read more Back in the Saddle Again
Hot Cross Buns & Urban Hiking
Save the Earth, it's our only source of chocolate! This Spring, the British Hubby and I vowed to hike more. Last weekend, we did a little urban hiking in downtown Seattle. We went to a performance of Haydn's Creation with the Seattle symphony. You've probably heard parts of this master piece. This is the first…Read more Hot Cross Buns & Urban Hiking
The Snow Returns
"Nature has no mercy at all. Nature say, 'I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway.'" — Maya Angelou The snow hasn't completely disappeared from my house yet. Guess what's in the forecast? That's right, more snow. The meteorologists claim it should…Read more The Snow Returns
Malabrigo March is Coming
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul. ~ Jaime Lyn Monday morning came around and I wasn't on vacation and there wasn't another foot of snow so I decided I better head in to the day job. My boss sure was happy I didn't quit to travel the world. And since Malabrigo March…Read more Malabrigo March is Coming
Rain, Rain Go Away
Find peace in the rain. Have you ever thought about vacationing with your cat? Given the British Hubby and I normally travel via our sidecar motorcycle, taking the kitties with us would be impractical. However, they would love all the napping nooks and windows at our home away from home on Orcas island. February in…Read more Rain, Rain Go Away
Vacationing in the Off Season
One way to make the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure. ~ William Feather If you've been following the blog for a bit, you know the British Hubby and I enjoy slightly more unusual vacations. We love vacationing on Ulysses. While we did think about taking it, sadly it…Read more Vacationing in the Off Season
