Life: Week 7

February 22, 2016 Laura Norsen

Last week I was wrong when I predicted weeks of grey skies! We've had another week of springlike weather, and the blooms of late winter are everywhere, making it feel as it spring is well under way. I know that it's still weeks away, but I am loving every minute of this ever changing weather. From my office on Wednesday there was pouring rain out one window and sunshine out the other, and shortly afterward, a vivid rainbow. Other than the dramatic weather, it was a quiet week. Andy was getting over a terrible cold, so we didn't do much.

I did finish the hat I've been working on for Andy, and he wore it on a lovely short hike Sunday to Lighthouse Point at Deception Pass State Park. I can't get enough coastal hiking this year! Perhaps I'll have to plan a multi-night trip on the Olympic Peninsula over the summer to continue the trend! Deception Pass was peaceful and uncrowded, a wonderful afternoon outdoors that almost made up for the fact that I marked the wrong date on my calendar and missed out on the first hike of the Alpine Trails Book Club. I know there will be many more to come, but I was so looking forward to this first meeting, and it was such a disappointment to miss it due to my own mistake. For the future, I'll double triple check my dates to make sure I don't miss out again!

Hi there! I'm Laura, and I'm an alpine addict. When I'm not out on the trail, I'm most likely at home snuggled up with my cat and a good book.

Berry colored huckleberry blooms promising delicious trail snacks in the near future!
Powerline Trail: Alpine Edition. Just a slight upgrade... 😅
Spending a gloomy Sunday in the city, but I still managed to find an astonishing amount of greenery in the Volunteer Park Conservatory!
Perfect morning for a river hike, especially when there are views like this!
An excellent reminder
With high avalanche danger in the mountains, today was a rainy Issaquah Alps sort of day. I think I've decided that hiking in the rain is my favorite, since not only are trails quieter, but the people you do run into are the best sort of hikers - other souls undeterred by a little weather!
Just a little Monday magic 😍
Perfect morning for a snowshoe in a snowstorm and some lovely hygge conversation with the #alpinetrailsbookclub After everyone had left, the clouds parted giving us a sliver of blue sky and a peek at mountains through the trees!
Winter wonderland!❄️
Don't let crap weather keep you inside. Sometimes the ugliest days can be the most magical in the woods!
