Chickens and the rescue Hound a year later

Huckleberry in his backyard

Barb, Freckles and Pippi

I feel like Barb is in charge of the girls

Barb just has that look of knowing

So thin and bony

Huckleberry

was so skinny

Not anymore

He no longer has accidents in the house

He is very loving and loved

He really is a sweet boy

4 little chickens moved in

A few posts back last year we visited the Portage Bay Grange, well, we took the leap and we now are raising 4 young chickens from their stock. They have personalities and social situations and nestle up together like a little family, these girls are great! They could really have a blog all for themselves hahaha!

Girls in their new home

Sam our Araucana

Freckle our White laced Wyandotte

Barb our Australorp

Birds Eye View

Its not easy to catch them all looking the same way at once.

So ya know, chicken butts

Within a couple weeks and they look so little back then

and of course Pippi our Rhode Island Red is leaning out of this shot

learning their new ramp, it is now poopy too hahahaha

starfish art

A photo of the starfish I love to sew up.

This is just a test to see if I remember how to blog.

It's only been a year.

A transitional year of our empty nest reversal.

Full house, new pets too.

Our cats now have

Chickens, a rescue Hound, rescue lab Mice sisters,

Fish Fish and more Fish, House plants and

Our daughters, for as long as we get them to stay,

for we will be moving

somewhere

within the next year

or so

We got us another UW graduate! We are so very happy for our kiddo.

A BS in Biology is no small thing, it is where you get to learn many different disciplines to get this degree.

Kirstin added in a Minor in Scandinavian Area Studies as well. Rockstar!

UW Class of 2018

Grandma who would not miss this for the world!

Very happy Mama

Very proud Papa

Uncle Eric and Auntie T-Jay flew in from Austin to make the celebrations that much more fun too.

Do Koi smell flowers?

According to legend, a Koi who can scale a waterfall

can be transformed into a beautiful golden dragon.

Ok, maybe just going for a nibble not a sniff?

Spring arriving at Seattle's Japanese Garden,

one of the oldest and most authentic in the US

Spring at the Volunteer Park Conservatory

The Volunteer Park Conservatory is one of my happy places and this spring I brought along Kristi to share this with. It was good to walk around the neighborhood and just absorb the beautiful sunny day!
