Skagit Valley in bloom




Here are some pictures of the Skagit Valley tulips taken back in April. I was helping with a water quality study for work and we stopped to take some pictures. This is me with "flat" Kira. She came to stay with Eric and I in March and April.

Eric's "new" single speed bike. He had his red 1984 Univega bike painted blue. It's a beauty! I can't wait to get my Diamondback cyclocross frame built up into a single speed cyclocross racer :)

I got 2nd place (in my age group) for a 2-mile sprint that was part of the Olympia YMCA Public Agency Challenge. Ecology represent!!! I had no excuse to miss it because it went right by our place on Capital Blvd. Hello Shin Splints :)

Here's a view from the backyard looking up at the large back porch. The porch will be perfect for dinners and visiting outside :)


This is a picture of our first home. It's less than 1 mile from downtown Oly and in an awesome neighborhood. It was built in 1938 and needs work, but it's got a unique style and tons of potential. We are really excited!
