It was a gorgeous summer day to be out in the pasture. These were some kindred spirits at Freedom Farm in the Agnew area between Sequim and Port Angeles. Wonderful weather for a bike ride!

Summer!

It was a good day for an excursion to Carrie Blake Park in Sequim to see the algae growing on the pond at the Sequim-Shoshi Japanese Garden.

No matter, it was great to be out of the barn for awhile on a sunny afternoon.

Another annual visit to the Cowtown of Kansas City and we met another bovine along the way.

He seems a bit bigger than us, but he and Lunch must be related -- they each have the same tilted horn!

Hurray! Spring is in full swing in the Pacific Northwest. The showers and rain of our normally-dreary month of May have taken a back seat to a stretch of very decent weather. (Maybe it's that climate change thing they keep talking about.)

Either way, it was a lovely day for a bike ride on the Waterfront Trail.

Happy Festivus!

No matter what holiday you celebrate, Festivus is for the rest of us.

When it comes time for the airing of grievances, the biggest grievance of all is for the intolerance of others. Almost everyone celebrates something special this time of year.

We're all in this together. Taking care of each other is the biggest and bestest feat of strength.


Cheers!

YAY! It's time for another road trip adventure.

The packs are packed, the suitcase is filled with margaritas and the tent is stowed. It's off to the Southwest!

We were planning to go camping in Yosemite, but wildfires have turned it into a place that's probably not good for backcountry grazing. Too much smoke to savor the good grass of the wilderness.

So it's off to Utah!

Moo!

Back to the woods

Summer's here!

It was a nice spring, but there's nothing like the long, warm days of summer.

Was good to get out to Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park. We sure have been itching for a walk in the woods. Today was perfect a stroll up to Marymere Falls near Barnes Point.

The trail is pretty easy -- just 1.5 miles round trip with two bridges over the streams. It's only a short uphill hike to the falls overlook.

Marymere is among the most popular places in the park and for good reason. It's a tranquil place, despite a steady stream of visitors taking photographs!
