Spring is making my tipsy. Look at the green of our backyard!
A friend whose spouse was also out of town that weekend suggested a paddle around the Arboretum. I’ve gone back three times since, but have never seen as much wildlife (or have been so warm) as this first May paddle. Fish were throwing themselves against the shores, turtles all the way down, raccoons were doing reconnaissance on a beaver dam, and we survived a Montlake boating day as we spied on Seattle houseboats. It was a perfect way to enjoy our lovely area and keep me from finding chores and work to do instead.
