Today was warm, at least in Seattle standards. Warm for April standards really. So this afternoon when my boss hinted that I shouldn't stay too late and suggested that I get out to enjoy the weather I took her up on it. I wrapped things up and headed home. It didn't take me long to think of where I wanted to take the dog on a hike. I had seen many doggie Meetup groups schedule outings at Cougar Mountain last spring and summer but I never got up there.
By the time I left work the clouds had rolled in, but it was still in the upper 60's and I was too excited about a good hike with the dog to let a little Seattle haze bring me down.
I got home, changed clothes and grabbed Olive. As you can see in the pictures above, we quite enjoyed the view, the hike and (in true "summer" fashion) some ice cream afterward.
Tomorrow it will rain, but we made the most of today.

The last 5 weeks have been exhausting. Really not bad, but tiring. New job, new commute, Jake's and my first real relationships stresses, I think my neighbor may be using a high-frequency sound device to torture Olive... I said it before & I'll say it again oy!
So I just didn't have the strength or desire to blog. I fell of the picture a day horse, hard. But I'm back and happy to be here.

"blue"
Day 33 of 365 366 Photo a Day Project
Day 13 of 29 February Photo a Day Challenge
I wanted the yellow coat for contrast, the background for my new blue Merrell shoes. Olive thought that I had placed the coat on the floor for her. She's kind of a princess. (But an outdoorsy, rough and tumble type of princess.)
This photo was not the best shot. The dog's shadow is covering some of the shoes and instead of cropping around the coat to have a nice yellow background you see the entire jacket. But that face. My sweet little dachshund, looking up at me. I had to use this shot.

"Front Door"
Day 29 of 365 366 Photo a Day Project
Day 9 of 29 February Photo a Day Challenge
Today started out so lovely... the barista asked me if I wanted a second shot on the house. (who says no, really?!) I got up to my desk before my boss (even though I was running a bit late)...
The rest of the morning was quite uneventful. Around noon I went home to let my little dachshund out to piddle. I had also given in and decided to change shoes. It had gotten to the point that no matter how many "those are cute shoes!" I got, I could no longer ignore the screams my victimized toes were making as as layer after layer of my skin was slowly rubbed off. I got all the way home, only to realize my house keys were not on my key-chain.
I won't bore you with the details; it was a long & stressful day. Fate was laughing at me today. Yes I'm sure she had a good, hearty chuckle. Today's fatmumslim photo challenge was "front door" and boy was I glad to finally make it through mine.
