5 June - Sunset across the valley

For Thursday, it's just a photo I took from our front deck, ( facing east across the valley at sunset. )

6 June - Ice Cream Social

On Friday, our old church congregation was having an ice cream social... and several folks invited us to go. rackham was still recovering from The Plague (he'd overdone it the day before because he thought he was finally over it), so I went alone. I had a fantastic time and it was great seeing all those familiar faces... plus I brought along a ton of Magic Pills so I could actually enjoy the ice cream too.

( The best part was the homemade ice cream competition! )

7 June - Peace Pole

On Saturday, we headed down to the Sammamish Plateau for a World Wide Flash Mob Geocaching Event... this was the eleventh year they've done it, but was the first one we'd been able to attend. Obviously, it was over very quickly, but we had a lot of fun and the organizers of this one did a great job.

( Afterward, we wandered over to one of the local landmarks and I got a photo. )

8 June - Old trestle in the forest

Yes!!! Finally! Actually posting a day's photo ON THAT DAY!!!! Now to see if I can manage to keep it up (ha!).

This afternoon, rackham and I decided to go for a bit of a walk/hike in one of the parks up in Monroe. And yes, we were in search of a Geocache (there's one in the park that's been eluding me, so I was dragging Rackham along to be a fresh pair of eyes). We very quickly ran out of a wide trail and ended up doing a bit of bushwhacking (as those who follow me on Facebook will already know, because I complained about being an idiot who persists in wearing shorts while hiking in areas prone to stinging nettles... ouch!).

( Ze forest, she is teeming with life... but all around zere are signs of man. )
