The bikes in our garage. You can't seen the 8 bikes that are still in boxes. Is it just me, or does this seem excessive?

June

Summer is here, with asperagus, rhubarb and the annuals in the garden fighting the eternal battle with the slugs. Goldfinches are at the feeder and the canoe is in the lake. It's all good.

Spring

Finally, Spring appears to have arrived.






This asperagus is like 3 feet tall

March pictures

Um. March is supposed to be springtime here.

Moving in

I know, but really, I've been crazy busy. Here's pictures of the new house, if you're interested.

Dining room from the living room and kitchen from the dining room



Master bedroom. There's two more bedrooms, but they aren't much to look at, especially since they're full of boxes, mainly


Backyard from dining room. This feeder brings TONS of birds



Lake out the back door on a foggy morning.

There's more, but it's too clutter with boxes to show off.

The Pacific Science Center

I hadn't been here since probably Junior High. I'd forgotten how cool it is. We saw the Lucy exhibit, which was excellent. Unfortunately, Lucy's been loosing the Center money, what with the economy and all. It was supposed to travel around the country, educating people and raising money for Ethiopia. Unfortunately, two other cities that were slated to host have pulled out and no others have stepped up. So, Lovely Lucy will probably return to Ethiopia and never leave again. Also, butterflies.

quick upload

Thing's've been busy lately, but nothing particularly interesting. I'm behind, though, so thought I'd just post some pictures of the last month.
