During its heyday in the 1960s, The Trail's End was out in the country in the Tumwater area, hosting lots of horse and pony shows and events. Since we raised Shetland and New Forest ponies, this was a place we'd visit from time to time.

The place has been closed up and derelict for quite awhile, and residential sprawl has caught up to the surrounding area. Today it could serve as a nice location for a B-movie.

Yesterday I got a visit from my Fan Club!

While the East Coast has turned into an icebox, the West Coast starts to see the signs of early spring.

But then more often than not we get fooled and snow falls on new blooms.

Hey, you draw cartoons, you can letter!

And so that's how I got roped into the pencils for this "Go Hawks!" sign for the Seattle Seahawks fans at my workplace. I don't even like football but I do like the way the Superbowl is cheering up my fellow residents of perpetual overcast in the dead of winter here. Sort of ironic this is my most recent piece of public art!

Isn't it interesting that the two teams at the Superbowl are from the only two states that legalized marijuana? Why is no one mentioning that? Curious.

I sure hope they are not expecting a huge rental fee for that vehicle
