I would probably self-identify as a female rural West Coast (of USA) Caucasian, but that wouldn't include, as labels often don't, my journey from a small monocultural mill town to a solo sabbatical in six countries (in '91). Now I'm on to the exciting sojourn of retirement (from full-time worklife five years ago). I love travel and art and aesthetics, as well as almost all cats and dogs I've met. This blog is just for fun and experimenting with the tools. It should be amusing...

Michael and Kathi


Here we are on the way to Cliff Lake. Paul Goethal of Belgium took this picture of the fiddler and wife, who's bringing furniture for their picnic.

Little yellow leaves


Folks, I've had some great technical help (thanks, Jeremy!) and we think we've discovered why some pictures haven't been showing up for you (since Oct. 10th).

This is a test picture, loaded through Blogger. Apparently those loaded through Picasa2 are now staying on the local host and not being transfered to Blogger. Cyberbummer. Apologies, and I'll fix pix asap...(done) ~Kathi

Fall brushes the landscape with new patterns of color


And uh-oh, winter can't be too far behind. Any catlovers out there who love snow sports and would like to exchange a WARM place for a month or so here in the frozen, but beautiful woods?! Howzabout Florida? Texas? Mexico?!

The trail beside Lake Siskiyou





This long trail goes almost all around the lake, and is lovely all year long.

Tennis Collage?








Let's see if this works...hmmmm, no. It only published a few of the collage items. This Blogger is hit and miss...but here are a few folks from our class, including a nice smile from our fearless teacher Rod.
