The dogs and I hike this peak regularly, but some days I just need to take a picture. #MtRainier

We love our sweet, sassy tortie girl who was born to a feral mom. She’s our pandemic baby and believes that the world revolves around her.

I just tested positive for Covid for the first time. I don’t feel too bad, but I slept about 2 hours longer than I normally do and woke up with a bit of a headache. I took my temperature, and it was 100°. That’s the only reason I tested. I wish the CDC was still keeping accurate data.

My husband had ankle surgery two weeks ago. He is non-weight bearing, but gets around pretty well with his scooter. Today he said he wanted to do something fun, so we hit the light rail into Seattle! We went to the Olympic Sculpture Park, Pike Place Market (and our favorite French bakery), and more!

The dogs and I took a long hike in the spring mist today. We did not see a single other hiker out there today.

The water is warming up. It was 66° today, so our swim group is growing! Four of us swam, and my sister paddled. She needs it a little warmer… maybe next time she will swim.

The dogs had a fun romp on our hike yesterday evening. They love splashing in the water, then rubbing in the tall grass.

Seattle was amazing! It was my first protest, and I was a little worried about counter protesters. It was a beautiful day, and everyone was really considerate. ❤️

I love kayaking through the water lilies! This picture was from last year, but soon… 😊

My sister gave me a variety pack of daffodil bulbs last fall. I planted them all over. It’s so fun to see them come up now! The elk or deer ate the buds off a few, but there are still plenty of various colors and shapes. Just the pick-me-up I could use this spring. ❤️

A choppy #openwaterswim in Puget Sound today. A seal was spotted by our kayaker, but I didn’t see it. We saw lots of sea stars, urchins, anemones, crabs, and one small jelly. I hate getting in 🥶, but it is always worth it! #wildswimming

I’m a little late for Caturday. 🤦🏼♀️ Frosty stays out of current events. He just wants love and food. ❤️

The tortie is our pandemic kitten, and the black cat still doesn’t think we need her. When I caught them napping together and almost touching, I had to take a picture.
