It is wild to me that it feels safer to bike with my 8 yo in Downtown Seattle than from my house to the closest light rail station or the Burke Gilman trail.

Redmond loves light rail! I saw so many people get off the train wearing Mariner’s gear and am now heading to an event and the train has few seats available and we haven’t hit Bellevue yet!

Planting seeds is such a good lesson in the discipline of hope. You don’t plant the seeds and wish they sprout. You must set intention, take action, and tend the seeds until they bear fruit.

Yesterday we saw this car flipped on our walk home from the park. This is a quiet neighborhood street. I can’t imagine how fast and reckless this person must have been driving. I really want more diverters on neighborhood streets.

I have an injured foot, so @seattlebikeblog.com rode to the Wallingford farmer’s market with me and my daughter on the back. A true family bike moment. It was super fun and made it so I didn’t have FOMO. I sat on the picnic blanket while he brought me berries and kombucha.

On the plus side, school aged kids have a lot of fun with this holiday. My daughter made me these “French Fries.” Very wholesome and silly.

Do you remember when Instagram was full of small aesthetic moments in a person’s daily life? Anyway, my Ube latte matching my notebook reminded me of that. So enjoy.

So many bicycle highlights in 2025! Having my daughter ride her own bike for two bike camping trips! One was 32 miles round trip on gravel with @nondriver.bsky.social fueled by marshmallows and gummy bears. I also had my stolen bike returned to me. Oh, I won an ebike in a raffle!

Took a moment to find some treasures in the garden this morning. Sure the flowers are bit damp and haggard, but who among us is not feeling that way?

A bright calendula, bringing a bit of sunshine to a dreary day

The last rose on the bush, a heavy raindrop is about to fall off the soggy petals.

The snapdragons are so vivid in the yard, a bright spot of color near our front door! They remind me of my grandmother.

We have an old stump on the side of the house that I mostly ignore in Summer, but in the damp months offers a home to many mushrooms

I just finished reading this incredibly sweet book. It is an epistolary novel with lovely glimpses into Seattle and LA history through culinary adventures. Plus recipes in the back!
