Weekend...in no particular order...all cell phone pics...
I loaded up Beverly Ulayla (my bike) and headed into the wilderness with Sherri. Bev U is a "mama cherry" aka a one speed granny bike. I rode it over 40 km to get to the mountain and back. My butt was cozy but it was killer on my legs! The basket is full of food, the backpack is full of camping gear and my boots rested on the fender...for 40 freakin kms! Aurrgghhhh...
The hut was on this cute little lake. The water was about chest-deep but...NO SWIMMING!! "Abunai-yo!" It's TOO DANGEROUS... whatever...
This time I participated! Katie, Sherri and I made the blue and white patch of "sky" near the windmill and the red wind.

Snippets of Monday Evening and Tuesday Afternoon
I've lived here for 2 years and yesterday was the first time I purchased flour and sugar. I guess that shouldn't seem so surprising considering I don't have an oven.... This is my homemade chocolate banana-nut bread. I made it in my rice cooker and it was tasterific!
The tulips are out!
Toyohira-Koen (park).
I ride my bike through this park every morning and afternoon.
