Half a Pug, plus


We had one of those pretty spring mornings recently, and the dog and the husband and I all went out for a very brisk walk at a nearby park. I got some great pictures too- shapes that I think may translate to a quilt...






Gorgeous tree shapes

Big toys make some great shadows!

Inspiration from...


Olympia is is the midst of spring, and that means some of us get itchy feet and want to start getting out and seeing the natural world again. I decided I needed an adventure. But I am realistic enough to acknowledge that I am in poor shape for any kind of exciting adventure LOL So we looked for mini-adventures to day- things to draw inspiration from and ponder.



We found lots of free things in front yards, blooming skunk cabbage and tree blossoms, a couple llamas in back yards, and even played with the sundial at the nearby elementary school.


We also have a great open space park, with about 4 or 5 entrances, one of which is about 4 blocks from our house, and another which is about 3 blocks from our favorite little bakery- the San Francisco Street bakery. So of course, we took the trail and got ourselves some coffee and pastry.
I hope you all are having fun adventures!
