Over at MyNorthwest.com, Jason Rantz of KTTH has an excellent article about an incident in Seattle that was wrongly reported by the Seattle Times, which continues to refuse to update their originally incorrect coverage. Recently in Seattle a man admitted to the gruesome murder of his girlfriend. His call to 911 was just released to …
Signs of Spring are everywhere. This is a bush in a planting strip near the building where I work. The flowering pear tree in our front yard. And a cherry tree along the road in Mill Creek, the next town south of our house.
Another in the Elements series. If these photos aren't Fire, I don't know what is. This is Earth's Primordial Fire, the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii in July of 2018. This lava formed in the literal fires at the center of our planet, and the movements of the tectonic …
First, a cute cartoon I was sent. Remember, dogs have owners, cats have staff. Next, a video I shot of the resident Owner, better known as Kikyo. I was about to get on my rowing machine for my daily workout, and she let me know she was bored with watching me. Cheers!
Hubby and I took a little spur-of-the-moment trip up to the Skagit late this afternoon, to see if the tulips were out in all their splendor. It was heavily overcast and threatening rain all afternoon. We saw minimal tulips, but we did see some new sights. Like this field of green veggies. And this really …

We went to the theater to watch Fantasia, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and all the other iconic Disney animated movies. We sat eagerly in front of our TVs and watched the Mickey Mouse Club. We begged our …
This past weekend, my husband and I took a stroll in the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary, a little oasis of nature directly across a busy street from the huge factory where he used to work. We came upon a tree that had fallen over completely, its base and roots perpendicular to the ground. In the lower …
These days, I live in a suburb. The closest big city is Seattle, 20 miles south of our home in Everett (where the airplanes are made). I was born and raised in Seattle in the 1950's and 1960's, and lived there from the mid-1970's until 1990. I do not recognize the Seattle of my childhood …
I have a bit of a problem with today's topic. It sounds to me a bit like "earth worship". I have always appreciated how God put us on the most beautiful planet known in the Universe. I appreciate how wonderful our planet is, and the fact that we humans are at the top of the …
