My cat - the ornament
Our big red cat has been trying to get comfortable in a box half his size which is full of Christmas ornaments. I can't figure what he is thinking. If anything.

Uphill Both Ways
After getting my son to split a half cord of wood this weekend, as the snow started to come down, I thought it would be good exercise this morning to walk to school in the snow - through the woods, down the ravine, over the creek and back up to the road to school. With the ravine, it actually /is/ uphill both ways!

Snow on the woodpile
This weekend we spent some time splitting the huge wood rounds we got a few weeks ago. The wood was enormous but most split after some good whacks so it wasn't too tough. Especially with the help of my thirteen year old son.

Free firewood.
Our neighbors took down a fairly large Douglas Fir tree and we noticed they were just giving away much of the wood. So this morning we headed out with mauls and wedges to split and haul what we could. Luckily I had an energetic thirteen year old that volunteered to help - well, if I paid him ten dollars. He did an awesome job and actually did most of the splitting!

Trapped by cats
I'm forced to sit on the couch and do nothing because of these three darn kittens that crawled onto my lap and fell asleep.

Fireworks at football game
The Juanita Rebels homecoming game has been a one sided game so far with five touchdowns in the first half. For halftime they even had fireworks - really amazing!

Soccer in the sun
My son had a tough game this afternoon - they played hard but ended with a 2-2 tie.The weather was a perfect sunny, crisp Fall day though. Tomorrow we have a long haul to North Bend for a too early game in the morning.

Dinner in a spaceship
Tonight I dine in the premiere ultra-lounge experience available in Los Angeles.
The elevator motif and music set the mood perfectly while the spaceship hat lava lamps slowly ooze cool.

Foster kitten
A few weeks ago we fostered a kitten that was really rambunctious but very fun. Normally we have several and they would stay in one room but this time there was only one so she was able to run around the house. This one liked to crawl around my keyboard and behind the computer monitor and one day just decided to curl up in my beret.

Day hike to Mt. Rainier meadows
Some friends have been raving about a great hike to Spray Falls on the north side of Mt Rainier so we took off not-so-early this morning and headed south. We went through Carbonado and wound up at Lake Mowitch around noon and headed out on the trails. The weather was a little cool and overcast but the sun came out later. We didn't get a good view of the mountain until on our way out but the meadows were beautiful. This time of year is past the peak for wildflowers but there were some still there and we just like alpine meadows any time of year. And we saw two bear on a distant hillside - pretty cool! The only downside is that my legs are so sore...

Spider on rose
Each year we see a few flower spiders - pale white or green. I'm surprised this one isn't camoflauged better.

Nice day in the sun
The summer weather has been wonderfully warm recently and rather than work on cleaning the deck I thought I'd enjoy a nice beer on this nice day.

Banana in the mail
My son's girlfriend wanted to see if the post office would deliver a banana. So she sent one. They delivered it. US Government FTW!

Vancouver Island camping
We spent the past week camping around Vancouver Island - first on the southeast side then up at Buttle Lake in Strathcona Park. The Strathcona Park is huge and full of great mountains, lakes and trails. The weather was a bit cool and we tried to do some alpine hikes but there was too much snow still to get very far. I've never been to Vancouver Island before but definitely will return - maybe a little later in the year to catch warmer weather.
