Since our trip to Virginia, we've been experimenting with Spring. Trying out the Porch in between sessions of a roaring fireplace. Its been nice for a few days, followed by cold and wet weather, including some snow flurries. So when its nice out we take full advantage of the outdoors.
We are still running most days and recently ran in a 5K and a 10K. The 5K was a local event to support a local path that we use for biking and running on. For the inaugural race, it was outstanding. Tons of raffle prizes, so even though I didn't win the race, I still won a technical shirt in the raffel! The 10K was another good time. The course was down the Snake river between Clarkston and Lewiston (Lewis & Clark, get it!). After we finished, they put us on a jet boat to take us back to the start. Made for a fun ending.
We've also tried to get out of the house with the dogs and finally made our way to Wawawai Park in Washington. It was a nice little park along the snake river.

Besides that we've been busy getting the garden ready for the growing season. Lets hope the snow is done so everything makes it this year. We've also cleaned up our house's flower beds. Kelly has been clearing out the weeds and moving plants around. We even put in some new shrubs. Very exciting. Our big project this summer will be to paint the house. The OUTSIDE of the house. We'll see how that goes.
