meet beepers

This is the stray cat that visits our yard sometimes to see Wiesty - he swung by this morning.  His name is Beepers and our neighbor feeds him lots of kibble.  He's a super nice cat - especially for a tough street-cat - and looked particularly fluffy today, so I snapped this pic.

put a bird on it!

The tiny town of Edison lies about 80 miles north of Seattle and has long been a favorite hangout for my uncle Mark.  Its a great little spot on the Skagit flats right on the edge of the Samish Bay, looking west out over the San Juan Islands.  This weekend, the town held their first ever Bird Festival to celebrate the abundance of feathered friends that visit the area this time of year.  AJ had lots to do around the house, so I ventured north with some friends and met up with Mark for a tour of the town and tides.
