Ellie’s Farm

My friend Kim invited me over to her parents’ farm this weekend to taste fresh mulberries from their mulberry tree.  I had only had dried mulberries before and now, after trying the fresh one, I have to say the dried ones are no comparison.

A Hiking Story: From Fail to Win

It was such a gorgeous day on Saturday that the BF suggested we go for a hike, which surprised me because usually I’m the one who comes up with hike ideas.  Since we live so close to pretty good trails, we didn’t think to do too much research before hopping into a car and jumping [...]

Yay a Playdate!

A few weeks ago, I brought my Kiba to the park for a playdate with a friend’s dog. They’re both huskies, so we wanted to see how well they got along. They seemed to like each other okay, but I’m not so sure they recognized that they were similar in appearance.
My dog’s the larger [...]
