Halloween Fun at the Stables

The forest is the only place for a trail ride around here.

With the occassional bear sighting.

This Histotic Wallingford home has a Historic Tree

I noticed this 1979 Ford 350 in the parking lot of a local Nursery. Gee a 2023 Ford 150 is way bigger these days!

Temps have dropped, Parents have installed  the hand warmers on their kid transport bikes.

The first time to use a ice scrapper in like 20 years, it was still in the glove box.
The family truckster has always enjoyed a garage.

I took a walk down some of the docks at Shilshole I  had not explored yet.

Its always fun to see the Adventuress

And the first time I saw one of these Kettenburgs was in Port Townsend

I have been curious about this motor vessel, A Linnsen GS40.0 

Linnsen Yachts is in the South Netherlands in the Province of Limburg, they specialize in Steel Motor Yachts,

We took Drew fishing off a pier on the North end of Shilshole, glad I found this cartoon to share with him!

Well I finally got around to changing the oil on SNOWBALL, the Pandemic slowed things down. 

This vessel, Blue Peter,  is owned by

The weekly September farmers market at Meridian were very handy.

Clara raised these eggs into stinkbugs bugs.

The fairy gardens seems to be in every neighborhood.

We pick Drew and Clara up from school, several parents pick up their kids on the family bike.
