Kennewick Inspiration Garden - A little Eye Candy from Me to You

What's Up Wednesday

For those who know me and my little family personally it won’t be a huge surprise that we’ve taken up another activity so we can enjoy the outdoors. Typically in the past we have limited our hiking activities to our trips to Montana. Late this summer DH and I were discussing how much opportunities we have here in Washington to enjoy hiking. Not to mention that Idaho and Oregon are only a hop skip and a jump away. Day hiking having less of a time commitment than our normal camping trip is a huge bonus also. I do get a little knitting done on these trips. DH usually drives so it is a toss up between sleeping and knitting for me. I’ll be honest though, sometimes sleeping prevails knitting in the car more than it should! So far we have done 3 hikes. Almost Buck Ridge, Blue Mountains, Washington; Hanford Reach, Washington; and Eagle Creek to Tunnel Falls, Hood River, Oregon. This coming weekend we are going to do the Naches Loop near Mt. Rainer.

Terrific Tuesday

Something in my life that you will find terrific too! The teenager moved out in July, 1 week before his 18th birthday. I waited to appropriate time (2 months) to move Huba into his room. Now I am turning Huba’s old room into my room!! Yes you read that right! Now all of my special treasures (yarn, loom, wheel, books, stamps, etc.) Have their own special place to live. It is so terrific, so special. Will take photos upon completion. And yes I am already kicking myself for not doing a before picture so I can do the whole before and after picture.
