Dance as Life

Cymdeithas Madog Cwrs Cymraeg

nhogoboom — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 20:20:18 +0000

I haven’t been able to attend for several years, but I’d really like to go this year. There aren’t a lot of places to learn Welsh in North America, but I can recommend these highly. This year, the Cwrs Cymraeg (Welsh Course) will be held in Cardiff, Wales. The previous course in Wales was in 2000 and it was a lot of fun.

Pictures from around the UW

I still can’t believe I’m a graduate student. A non-traditional grad student to say the least, but still a grad student.

As I adjust to the new schedule, I still find time to experience the beautiful world around me.

Here are a few pictures I took with my Smart Phone on my first few days of class.

The garden is either out of control or neatly planted for fall.
The cat is enjoying the late summer/ early fall weather.
The pasture has had it’s second-to-last mowing of the year.
The roosters, hens and “peep show” (the dozen chicks of Lucilles) are always hungry!

Evergreen State Fair Opening Day

Isaac and I went to the Evergreen State Fair on opening day. This was the first time that we went at the beginning of the fair. Usually we go on the last day, Labor Day,when the admission was half off. But it turns out the chickens are now only shown at the beginning.

Here are some pictures.

Lucille and her dozen chicks

nhogoboom — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:37:47 +0000

I was heading to the barn to put something away and I heard some peeping. Lo and behold, under the spruce, was Lucille. I thought she had been the coyote’s lunch a few weeks earlier, but here she was with a bunch of broken eggshells.

I moved her to the coop and thought I picked up 8 chicks. Later, Isaac found that there was an even dozen. They stayed in the coop yard for the first week and now are venturing further afield. They still all try to nestle underneath their mum!

So far, all are doing well, peeping up a storm all day long.
