Farewell Spring, In Pictures

No, but seriously, where did the spring go? Usually I can't wait until summer, and this year it's here before I even had time to wait for it.

I think the last few months were more of a blur than usual with Basic Climbing and Mountaineering Class I did, having a weeknight and most weekends planned. It was such a wonderful course though, between learning climbing basics, going snow camping dressed as Courtney Love, doing my first alpine climbs ever, learning glacier travel and crevasse rescue, and climbing Mount Baker. The class finished just at the right time, and I have been appreciating having weekends free again. All in all it was a really great spring.

Pulling out the bolted, over-wintered kale

Planting in the garden: broccoli, brussel sprouts, and
cauliflower starts... and white wine

Some critter got a garlic!?

Being recently carless means I try to transport ridiculous
things on my bike rack.
