Cool runnings

At one point today, I had the overwhelming urge to toboggan come over me.

How can I make that happen, I wonder, in the middle of an amazing summer in a very urban setting.

An addition..

..to the last post.

I just heard my neighbor through the fence say "Honey, will you go sit with the goats for a bit to shut them up?"

GOATS! PLURAL!

Neighbors

I don't just live next to chickens anymore, oh no.

There is a new addition to the Greenlake farm.

Only a thin wooden fence separates me

from a very very vocal goat (more specifically, a kid).

Mostly appreciative

Dear Seattle,

You do such a good job at feeding me. Cherries, plums, and apples on trees, all ripe for the picking and within a one block radius of my humble abode! There's no way a girl's gonna starve in this fair town. No sir!

Also, one more thing, Seattle. On a totally unrelated note.

I've become aware of a lot of "heavy breathers" sitting in the back of the bus with me. Sooo much huffing and puffing while at rest, I've noticed recently. What's up with that? I can hear them over my head phones! Maybe there aren't enough hills after all?

With much love,
Kim

Having a glass of ice water on a gross, sticky summers day

is similar to having your bestest, closest friends in town to cuddle and bum around with.

It's when you can close your eyes and let out that big sigh that you've been holding in for weeks and weeks.

The feeling of "home" is all around me and I can't stop smiling.
