Ducks and a rainbow

The great part of the random downpour was a fabulous rainbow. The neighborhood ducks thought the same thing.

Railroad walk

We had a great view of some bufflehead ducks from under the railroad bridge.


The ponds looked extra creamy this evening. Smelled pretty strong too :)

New hedges

We have had some "trouble" with some people backing down our driveway, so we decided to try and do something about it.
We bought ten Emerald Arborvitae to plant on the steepest spots.


I was amazed I could fit ten in the Honda element!


The first three went great! We used some of our fresh, black gold from the compost pile in hopes of stimulating their growth.


The rest went in just as well. Hopefully, next time someone tries to back down the driveway, they will see the trees before going off the edge! :)

We will see.......

Kayaking with my iPhone

We got this super cool waterproof case that fits my iPhone perfect! It works so good, we took it out kayaking. We only saw one beaver on this trip, but it was great to get back in the water.

Deer family stroll

We have four deer right now that we see on a regular basis. The one below we have named Blondie, because of its big batches of blond on him/her.

Shilo's new hiking boots

Shilo got little booties for her little paws, but she didn't quite know how to handle them at first.

Spring is here

The daffodils are blooming in the yard, and the deer haven't eaten them yet! I know they are supposed to be deer resistant, but I didn't see any yellow last year....

New window

We installed the first of eight new windows that we bought. This new window was a few inches smaller than the old one, but it turned out great. It is in our room so we can already feel the effects of a high efficiency window.
