Margaret,
I am going to try to be a better blogger. And knitting just takes practice, like anything else.
Blog, reinstated
I went to my book group this morning. I have been a part of this group for at least 15 years! Unbelievable! One of the things that being a part of this group does for me is that it stretches me, in terms of what I read and how I think. So many of the books that we have read would not even have b...
OMG...day 12? I am only on day 4 and I feel awful. I love your photos. It looks gorgeous!
One Lovely Harstine Day, Still Feeling Punk, and Another Odd Thing
John took Friday off, but we didn’t head to Harstine immediately; he first made a bonzai run down to Chehalis to check out/purchase a drum sander listed on Craigslist for his woodworking shop. It’s pretty much a big honkin’ thing so he brought it home to unload before REloading the Durango for H...

visiting Mom...
I drove down for a visit with my mom today. The Willamette Valley was especially Dramatic and Stormy, so i snapped a photo (or two). My mom likes to look at my blog and my Facebook pages, so it was fun to hang out, roam the Web, and see her before heading off.

Nighttime in the Garden...
The Portland Chinese Garden had a free open night. This was the end of their Chinese New Year celebration. I thought to myself that it was a great opportunity to try out nighttime photography. It was gorgeous there. They had these lovely little floating flowers, with a light inside, that th...
