We’re in the heat of the summer, now. From my car on 183 as I drive to Kent I see the soft-colored chicory already in bloom, tiger lilies, a smattering of some kind of small yellow flower I don’t recognize — a kind of vetch, maybe. Bright finches flutter above patches ... READ MORE

Luckily it's a simple fracture that just requires rest and a few weeks in this air cast, and I have pups willing to chill on the couch with me while I heal ❤️ #hikinginjury #yepitsbroken #whoops
