I am a gardener. Retiring from larger farm acreage, we now care for 1/2ac of flowers with a barn for my Rhode Island Reds. For over 35 years we have owned German Shepherds. Our latest is 9 month old Saphira. (Go K9 Heroes!) Together we walk Meadow Ridge daily through pastures full of horses or along the river at Blue Stilly Park. My daughter and her Arab, Gdiwaa, are sooo ready to accompany Sam and her Halflingers over at Hopeful Farms on these Pacific Northwest summer day treks. The Pilchuck Tree Farm is just 15 minutes walking from here for trail rides. We cannot wait until the Centennial Trail is complete to Arlington!

We visit Whistler every year and watch it snow from our timeshare, then walk & Christmas shop all over the Village. In summer the Oregon Coast beckons! You will catch us at Puget Sound Area Bike Shows all year with Terry's Combat Veterans International group out of Stanwood. His Harley is gettin' some mileage on it from Sea to Sky----from Chuckanut Drive through the North Cascades Highway.
