Beaver Lake

We enjoyed a fabulous hike in the cold winter weather yesterday. I forget how much I love hiking in the Cascades until I get out in it. 

Beaver Lake is a forested lake north of Loup Loup Pass. It's not drop-dead gorgeous, but offers hikers the rare chance to see terrain recovering from the devastating fires of the Okanagon Complex in 2015.

Jackson's Birthday

We celebrated Jackson's 15th Birthday with a big chocolate cake.

I think chocolate is his most requested flavor based on the evidence.

Modern Improv

 I am currently in love with vast fields of grey. It's probably a fad, but I  adore it. In a few days I created this modern improv quilt. I finally used the Nigerian print I had in my stash for years for the backing.
