Over Seattle
We had hoped to do a seaplane fly-over around Mt. Rainier but about 20 minutes after take-off it we got word the mountain was clouded over. So we spent about an hour ove Seattle and east over Mt. Si and North Bend.
Cookie Break

Alyssa and Abby worked incredibly hard on our patio rehab so I thought
we should take a break for bake some cookies. I’m sure I had more fun than they did. Great smiles, though.
Alyssa & Abby Take a Break

After spending a few hours clearing grass from between the patio flagstones, the girls needed a break:
Alyssa & Abby Arrive
Alyssa and Abby arrived today, apparently not at all fatigued after an already long day’s travel.
Final Riding Lesson
Today was our final lesson for the summer.
More Horsing Around
We signed up for a couple of private lessons for just Trisha and me. This time we are on Roy, a mammoth animal but very well-mannered.
The Bear is Back
The neighborhood is getting visits from a large black bear. We don’t usually see these critters in the summer. This one is quite bold and not easily shooed away.
David Riding Horses
I got on a horse today for the first time since I was about nine years old. After having watched Trisha for the past few weeks I didn’t feel too intimidated. I’m not sure Cash, the horse, was very impressed though.

I’m fascinated by bees. There’s something kind of mystical about them; the interdependence they have with flowers and how dedicated they are. Here’s one in our front yard today.
Trisha back in the saddle
Another trip to Widbey Island. Trisha was given more freedom to handle the horse today.
