The North Zillah Nature Trail (aka Our Backyard)

I don't know what we will name this trail. It is certainly not the John Wayne Wilderness Trail and it is not the Pacific Crest Trail, heck, it is not even the Greenway, but we have our own nature trail right in our back yard and these are just some of the scenes that you can see hiking the trail. The good news is that you do not need to take a backpack nor even lunch.. The whole walk takes about a minute and a half but it is an improvement over the barren hillside we have had for the last 17 years.

Strawberries

It is now the 4th of June and we are finally getting some strawberries ripening in the garden.

Landscaping

I have been working on these steps for a good part of the spring now. I think they are finally finished and the results are pretty much like I hoped they would be.
Jillian and Vance helped me try them out for the first time. Thanks to Glen and Jean Tanner for the help in loading up the wheelbarrows for me while I wheeled the rock to the stairs and got everything leveled out.
