First evening in Athens was beautiful. Staying near the Acropolis, which we can see from our room. Breakfast is on the rooftop with a great view as well.

Loving this daffodil and wishing everyone in the world could just be enjoying flowers instead of all the crap going on. #gardening #daffodil #pnwlife

I love this tulip! It came up again from last year and I hope it keeps coming every year. #gardening #pnwlife #tulips

Tulips and sunshine. Spring is here. #gardening #tulips #pnwlife

I worked this chunker in the round pen today. It was in the mid-70s and Indie was definitely feeling good. #horses

Turn your face to the sun and have a great day! #daffodils #gardening #flowers

Sometimes you just got to take a nap. #puppylife #australianshepherds #dogs

The daffodils are blooming! #gardening #daffodils #springtime #flowers

Lyra has become my quilting room cat. She's terrified of Oliver, who freaks out when he hears her tiny meow coming up from the basement. I don't know when they'll ever meet. #catlovers #catlife #cats

Sunset two minutes apart. Two minutes later, the color was gone. #pnwlife #hoodcanal #Olympicmountains

I donate every month to Donors Choose where I buy books for classrooms all over the US. It's become increasingly difficult to find teachers wanting current books. The rise in requests for "safer" classics is crazy, and I've had 3 teachers return fully funded projects in the last year. Also crazy.

Oliver discovered bees yesterday. I hope he sticks with looking and smelling and doesn't try to eat them. #AustralianShepherd #doglife #gardening

It feels like spring outside. #pnwlife #gardening #daffodils #flowers

More hellebores! #gardening #pnwlife #flowers

Did you ever hear the story of The Prince and The Pea? #pnwlife #australianshepherds #gardening

The camellias are blooming as well. #pnwlife #gardening

The hellebores are blooming! #gardening #pnwlife #flowers

These two are a mated pair of bald eagles that live near our home. I just missed filming them creating the next generation 😁. #pnwlife #hoodcanal #birdsphotography

Oliver says, "Hello! Do you want to play fetch?" #australianshepherdworld #pnwlife #doglover

If you need a laugh, here's Oliver trying to reach the last kibbles of horse feed in an otherwise empty bag. He was in the garage while I made up bags of feed and supplements. This was minor trouble. Next, he started chewing the bags and throwing them around. #australianshepherd #gardening

May you have an Oliver-happy day tomorrow and every day. #pnwlife #australianshepherd

The morning fog took until mid-afternoon to burn off. #pnwlife #gardening #hoodcanal

Happy New Year, featuring the many moods of Oliver! #Australianshepard

Puppy meets ocean. Oliver was a bit scared of the big water that chased him then ran away, but he loved the beach! #australianshepherdworld #australianshepherd #pnwlife

Guess who's 20 pounds?!!! Oliver's getting so big and loves his toys, walks, and bed. #australianshepherdworld #australianshepherds #gardening

I grew this dahlia from seed in my bed in the greenhouse. It should bloom all winter. #gardening #dahlia

Our visiting hawk finally posed for some good photos. I think it's squirrels and birds 4 and hawk 0. I haven't seen it do a successful hunt here yet. #pnwlife #gardening #birdsphotography #hawk #hoodcanal

Beautiful sunset last night. #pnwlife #gardening #hoodcanal

One last splash of gold. #gardening #pacificnorthwest #autumn
