April is a tortuous month for me. While it is clear that spring has arrived in the garden, the weather still feels like winter with only an occasional sunny day here and there to try and cram in all the chores that need to be done.

Imagine your life with this kitty – it’s a wonderful one! Our cat of the week Imagine is a beautiful ten year old tabby and she’s a true sweetheart. This girl is made of pure sugar!

Bad weather doesn’t stop Bob Stiles from biking and bussing from Edmonds to Seattle every day – not even snow.

Equally dedicated, Poulsbo resident Paul Grasser walks onto the ferry and buses to Premera in Mountlake Terrace, saving time and inspiring others to do the same.

A few days ago, I purchased some D cell batteries. I brought them home and thought, perhaps naively, I’d just rip the package open and then use the batteries. But, oh no, it was not to be that simple.

See the batteries were packaged in a shrink-wrapped bubble pack.
