Summer is gone. This is what the end looked like. I think it had a nice way of saying goodbye.
Fall is officially underway. Of course there was that Saturday a few weeks ago when I thought it had arrived and thus made pumpkin soup and bread bowls on what turned out to be an 80-degree day. With [...]

Annette Lake hike
Jason decided it was high time we went for a hike, since we’ve been saying we want to, the summer’s almost over, and our behinds still hadn’t made it up any mountains.
I use the past tense hadn’t instead of haven’t, because that is no longer the case. We hiked up to Annette Lake this last Saturday. The [...]

Less internet, or in other words, living life
It has been almost three weeks since I last posted. That is too long. I would say we are busy, which we are, but I’ve also just gotten out of the blogging groove. This is partly because being on the internet was starting to feel like it was sucking the life out of [...]

The results are in
Our chickens will henceforth be named . . .
Soup & Salad

We’ve decided the bigger one will be Salad because salads need to be big to be filling. And the smaller one will be Soup [...]

Memorial Day 2009
By Jason
It is Memorial Day 2009. Memorial Day is always an interesting holiday for me. It didn’t mean much more to me than a day off of school/work, until Iraq and Christian’s death. In Iraq a friend, Bruce Smith, died in a helicopter crash. Years later, my good friend Christian Skoglund [...]

Now open for egg-laying business
Yes, it’s taken us longer than we promised, but we finally finished Coop de Haggard!
It all started with a spontaneous conversation about chickens at Community Group, which ignited a dream in my heart, which was followed by a deal struck with Shelley to take two of hers.
This got the artistic genius of CPT Jordan Francis [...]

First grill of the season
In Seattle, of course.
Not exactly like last season.
We won’t break out the Mexican and mojitos until we feel more confident that warm weather is upon us.
Until then, Seattle continues to tease.

Fun photo project
I’ve been working on some photo projects and thought I’d share one I just completed.
It was super easy to do and pretty inexpensive. And, I think it looks really cool.
I took the photos with my camera, not thinking of using them for anything in particular. When I downloaded them I thought I’d convert [...]
