Bellingham: Summer Recipe

North Cove : Lake Whatcom

Bellingham, WA

Summer Recipe:

- From the North Cove (pictured above) paddle board 25 minutes South to Camp Firwood on a clear as could be August evening. Set the temp to 74 degrees. Set the timer to 7:50pm.

- Hang out at camp all evening. Watch Center stage, ET and consume a serving dish sized bowl of Lucky Charms.

- Paddle board 20 minutes North on Lake Whatcom back to the North Cove on a clear as could be, starry filled August night. Set the temp to 64 degrees. Set the time to 12:15am.

The Dead of Winter has its Days

This may look like a spring day, but it isn't. Too bad. However, it's official! El Nino is upon us. Lots of dry, slightly warmer than normal days ahead. To some, this may not be exciting. Like the 2010 Vancouver Olympics organizers/participants/parents of participants and fans. They want the snow, and buckets of it. However, I'm fine without it. In fact, I'd be fine if El Nino kicked the end of winter/early spring weather pattern aside all together and allowed late spring to usher itself in. It's starting to feel like spring, it might as well be spring.

The Center house is getting close. Come down and see it for yourself.

Fall: My 3rd Most Favorite Season.

This happens to be the view from the porch...or the bed if I happen to be waking up.

Fall is overrated. There. I said it.

Fall is like a beauty pageant contestant. The only thing going for her are her looks.

This is where I live.

These are things I might find when I walk out my front door.
