Hiking and home
Posted on | April 23, 2012 | 5 Comments
I've been a lousy blogger as of late (I'm sensing a theme here?). Truth be told, I am relishing every last minute of my maternity leave. Spending time on a computer or watching a screen of any sort is the last thing I want to do. We've finally been blessed with nice weather, and we've taken full advantage of it. Below are a few snapshots from tamolitch 'blue' pool on the Mckenzie River, less than an hour from home.

Hiking makes a baby thirsty!
We've also been working on the house/yard, starting the very beginning phases of the garden, tending to the chickens, and of course exercising the pups. Hazel and I visited a childhood friend in Portland yesterday, & have also enjoyed some relaxing time in the backyard - much needed!
I wanted to post more photos but blogger is telling me I must purchase more space (!!). So here's a couple more camera phone photos to hold all of you Hazel die-hards over (tee hee)! I promise to post more this week!
This day she refused to nap - hence the look

I have always wanted to live in Oregon or Washington. So beautiful! I love the photos of the dogs and you and Hazel in front of the pond. Enjoy the rest of your maternity leave!

Love the pictures.
I remember when blogger said I was out of space for pictures. I was so shocked.
The last picture of Hazel is so hilarious, I love it. The smiley pictures are always fun, but I love capturing Bracken's different expressions. :)
