Weekend photos

This looks a little morbid, but Liam decided to mimic Tahoe who was stretched out taking a nap.

Our dear friend, Brigid, and her dog, Ridley came to stay with us over the weekend. Here, Liam has a little morning cuddle and read with Brigid, while Tahoe stays close by.

Brigid had the great idea of using some old(er) hazelnuts and making homeade Nutella! It tasted so good. Here, Liam and Brigid peel the toasted hazelnuts in preparation.

More peeling....

...a weekend walk to the waterfront at low tide.

A few photos from the week...

"In like a Lion".......we welcomed March (or rather, said goodbye to February), with snow! We woke up Thursday morning to about 5 inches of white, powdery snow and cold weather. It caused school delays (yeah!) and Liam enjoyed romping while it lasted.

Our backyard that morning....

The next day...still enjoying the snow in the sunshine. It was all gone by Friday afternoon.

Art time.

Little artist at work.

The Platform

There is an amazing platform on some public land, just above our beach on Cypress Island. I love to come here in the morning or evening and do yoga. These pictures are from a little "hike" that Liam and I took to the platform during our last Cypress visit. We brought "provisions" (as Pooh Bear would say) and took a little rest atop the platform. Behind Liam, you can see Strawberry Island and the tip of Blakely Island.

Liam enjoys his graham cracker.

Looking out.....

Evening light from the hilltop - sitting on the platform.

Winter sunshine

Here is Liam lounging in the sun at Cypress having lunch on the deck. Notice the wool socks and hat...it is not yet spring, but we Northwesterners really know how to enjoy the sun...rare as it is!

Checking out what the sock has picked up.....

Mmmmm......apples and peanut butter.

Presidents Day Weekend

We spent Presidents Day Weekend at Cypress enjoying some winter beach time. These days, it is all about dinosaurs and construction....sometimes at the same time. Here are some pictures of Liam "getting work done".....

....filling up the 'ol dumptruck....

...and making some new tracks....
