Say Awww

G'Dang! This kid is cute!

Cat Lady

I have befriended two stray cats and named them Tiny and Minnie. They are both very very small, skinny and irrefutably charming. Every night I put out food for them and every morning it's gone and I smile. I have a feeling that everyone in the neighborhood is probably feeding them also, but I like to pretend that its only me. I want to take them to the vet to make sure they are spayed and get them flea medicine but it's very difficult to track them down at any specific time so making an appointment seems futile. So, for now we catch glances as I run down my stairs, or longer visits as I water my plants and enjoy each other as casual observers. These are pictures of Minnie, Tiny is all black and is typically found at night, so photos are a little more difficult.

My Dad came to visit for a few days! We did and ate it all! We saw a sunset from a different beach almost every night, ate homemade ice cream, flan, crepes and a ton more good foods, went kayaking, antiquing, to a basketball game and all and all had a great time! Here are some sunsets and good times...thanks for a great visit dad!

Kayaking was great! We toured the houseboats on Lake Union then paddled our way through the Montlake cut to Lake Washington and glided through the Arboretum. It was a beautiful warm day until we were heading back when some clouds moved in and kicked up the waves making it a bit of a workout to get home.

Here is my dad eating black licorice ice cream that turned his mouth black. It was pretty terrifying, though would be perfect for halloween!

The sky has been stunning! Come on over and see for yourself!

I Dare You

not to smile for the next 2 min and 34 seconds.

Lake Biting Flies

Lake Dorothy hike with absurdly cute friends Cory, Lisa, Kammi, David and Guapo! Beautiful hot day that made a dip in the lake at the top an especially delightful treat. The only downside was the swarms of biting flies and mosquitos. They were terrible.

Seasons

Hello all!
I've decided as the weather outside changes to pretty fall grays and bright greens, I would do the same, with a little hot pink mixed in. I know I've been asleep at the wheel a bit here, but it's only because I have been out and about. Hot days in Seattle are like a dream and we've been spending more time dreaming this summer then most. I have taken some pictures, not many really. But along with the change in layout I vow to change my efforts, more pictures and thrilling content to come my friends.
See you all soon, Jill
