I know I said this a couple months ago, but now it really IS finally starting to feel like spring here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. It’s been absolutely glorious and that means more time at the river, with the animals, out hiking and less time at the computer. So that is why my postings have been fewer and farther between. But, as any Oregonian knows, the weather can change at the drop of a hat so as soon as it starts raining again (and I’m sure it will here soon, I don’t like to get my hopes up too much with weather like this!) you’ll be seeing more of me on this here blog :-D

So, first let me share with you the wonderful day we had today. We got up super early and went out to a place aptly named Shotgun Creek. The reason I say it is aptly named so is because you can’t go anywhere in this tens of thousand square acre park without hearing gun shots in the background. Either that or dirt bikes/ATV’s. Nonetheless, it is still a beautiful area and you can always find a secluded trail to hike. It’s also only a quick 10 minute drive so that is a plus as well.

We went down some winding logging roads and found ourselves at the top of a mountain. Not a huge one but it was big enough to see for miles and miles. We also saw some big ol’ snow peaks in the background so that was nice.

And then we found a nice wooded spot to take a family portrait (after I figured out how to use the timer!)

Such a wonderful day we had today!!

Moving on, as I mentioned in the title of today’s post, I’ve been tagged (by the beautiful Michelle from my home town!!). Since I’m like the only blogger in existence who hasn’t been tagged before, I’m sure you all know the rules/guidelines but nevertheless I will post them :-)

1. Post 3 random things about yourself.

2. Link to the person who tagged you in your post.

3. Tag at least 5 other bloggers.

4. Let them know they have been tagged by commenting on their blog with an invite to participate.

Ok here’s my 3 random facts:

1. I was the first person in my family (by family I’m referring to my parents and siblings) to be born in America. Mom was born in Poland, Dad in Brazil and my older brother in Germany.

2. My favorite leafy green is kale and I eat it on an almost daily basis (especially now that we have it growing in the garden!!)

3. I have an extreme weak spot for talk radio, doesn’t matter what kind, be it Air America, Bill O’Reilly or Car Talk.

Alrighty, now who shall I tag? Hmmmm……
