Sloughy Morning




It was simply too beautiful to go home this morning after the school drop so my little cranky companion and I grabbed coffee shop gear and headed to the Mercer Slough. I thought some nature would help lift his funk.

Although we didn't get far on our trail, we did breathe deeply, stop to look at many wonders and pretend some silly stuff. Less grumpy? Yep. And not only did we accomplish lifting spirits (nature/exercise will always do that) but I found some plans for my dream home. All of the buildings in the education center are sustainable and green and beautifully designed. Now I just need to find a piece of land, teach one bazillion cycling classes and buy some land so that I, too, can grow plants on my roof!

I love your photos! The one with Joey in the moss-covered tree is great.

So, is it pronounced "slew"?

Green stuff on the roof is associated with bad drainage and/or poor gutter cleaning abilities around here! I think I'd get the heebies with stuff weighing down my roof like that.
