Yesterday was a Cream Puff of a Day in the PNW

Yesterday was the first spring day truly worthy of nonstop outsideness.

We took full advantage of it, expanding the normal Tour de Bremerton with Tilly, the dog, to be a real 3-hour tour. We kicked it off with our regular trip to Pendergast Park, and followed that with an exploration of a wilderness trail in the area. Then we headed to do a quick trip to the shops, dropped in at Cafe Corvo for the Saturday coffee/chai/pupcup treat.

When we got home, we decamped to the sun in the side yard for a beverage and a bask with Tilly and the cats. That gave me time to contemplate yard work. What followed was a bit of a frenzy of yard improvement:

  • I raked and weed-whacked a section of the side yard to prepare to plant wildflowers
  • I spread the partial shade wildflower seeds and watered them
  • I watered the plant in the back patio area
  • I mowed the front yard
  • I put up the hammock and beta-tested it with the help of SpookyBear, the cat

By 8:30pm, we were all pretty much down for the count, feeling well-dosed with sun and vitamin D.
