It's fun when there are lots of things to share. We had plenty of activity in October. This month we kind of divided the news into three areas; Covington Fun, Spokane Activities, and the Texas Trip. Each one had their own special moments. There were over 100 pictures posted on the various pages this month. Hope you enjoy them all!
Covington Fun
Covington Front Door Cam
Cheryl found several pictures that captured us coming and going as we tended to chores. It can be fun to sometimes see what is in the background or other places in the images.
Fall Color
The Pacific Northwest has some amazing color in the fall. We were very surprised to find that most of the tree color west of the Cascade Mountains was not natural. Tree color here was planted by man. The natural fall color here is mainly a muddy brown and yellow from the few deciduous trees. Evergreen trees dominate the area and provide a year-round green. Man came along and planted color.
Sunsets and Clouds
Cheryl watches for spectacular sky activity. Whether it's dramatic clouds or colorful sunsets. With fire smoke still in the air and fall storms moving in off the Pacific, there is plenty of activity in the sky. Unfortunately, that activity can also cover up celestial shows from the Moon and stars. We will take what we can get!
Seattle University Village
We took a day to travel to University Village near the University of Washington just north of downtown Seattle. Not one of my favorite drives. But, once there, we walked around the shopping area and came across a unique water feature. Had to get a picture of that. Cheryl's favorite furniture store is there, so we spent some time looking for just the right items for the new place in Spokane.
Maple Valley Train Show
We have to leave the house when there are open houses scheduled. The trick is finding something to do for the hour and a half. It just happened that this week, one of John's favorite activities was on display just a few miles away in Maple Valley. The annual train show is fun to see. We really like the Leggo train sets that they have. We could have spent the whole afternoon there.
Spokane Activities
Ride to Spokane
We find the trips back and forth from Covington to Spokane quite dynamic. Every time we go there is something new to see. The weather changes and now we have seasonal changes. There are more, natural, deciduous trees here also so we have color changes as well. The trips are never boring.
Geese
Standing at the patio deck door, looking out over the Spokane Valley, what started as a small dot grew into a wavy line of dots. I knew then that there was a line of geese flying towards me from the southwest. Grabbing the phone and setting a medium zoom, I started taking some pictures. I really couldn't see what I was getting on the screen, but viewing them later show a nice flock of birds as they flew off to the Northeast.
Bookcase Construction
The main activity for our current trip to Spokane was to put the bookcases and the cabinets around the TV to clear boxes out of the garage. All the racks and cabinets were marked and numbered where they would go. The boxes of books and DVD's were identified to assist in making the job easier. Within a few days, we had a nice wall of books and DVD's around the TV. Now there is more room in the garage.
Area Views
We find the views in Spokane to be wonderful. Wherever we look, there's always something new to see. The colors, snow, animals, steam and clouds gave us many reasons to take a picture.
Texas Trip
Traveling to Dallas
Here are just a few pictures to show we were on our way. We stayed at a different hotel this time and found the room to be very good. There even was a kitchenette complete with dish washer!
Visiting with Family
Our visit included a day when more members of the family could be there. It was good to get together again and share many stories. Vanna once again provided a wonderful meal. Dad (96) was looking good and participated well with the visit. Of course we got the obligatory group shot.
Visiting with Dad and Vanna
Our second day of the visit was just with Dad and Vanna. We were glad to have some quiet time with them also. Vanna got the chance to show Cheryl her garden and the fantastic veggies and herbs there.
Traveling Home
We took a few touristy shots and road shots on the way to the airport. The steam coming out of the air vents on the plane was interesting. The flight home was bumpy but otherwise uneventful. Flight delays and cancelations from the government shutdown didn't impact us but occurred the next few days. We were very blessed with no disruptions and a safe trip.

Door Cam
We were able to capture some interesting images from the door bell cam this month. Not only were we coming and going, we got John as he was sweeping the cobwebs from around the door.
Fall Color
We also got a nice sampling of pretty trees this fall. It's nice the see the reds and yellows that brighten the neighborhood.
Hostas
Cheryl likes her hostas. She has picked out a few that she wants in Spokane. We have a nice place planned for the plants.
Birthday Party
We had a good time celebrating the September birthdays. Cheryl made a delicious meal of pulled pork and salads. There was a scrumptious carrot cake for desert too! Alan was there and we got updated with his activities. Got the mandated fireplace picture too.
John Cutting Grass
When we are in Covington there were chores to do. We still have to make the house look nice for showing. Every weekend there is an open house.
Auburn Cemetery
Since we had to be gone for the open house, we decided to go to the Auburn Cemetery. There, we could visit the Moms and get a nice picture of the Mountain too. Stopped and got a hot chocolate on the way home.
Covington Sunsets
The beautiful, dramatic sunsets seen from the Covington house are always worth a picture. Cheryl managed to get a couple.
To Spokane
While it is about a five hour trip, You might think it's boring. We seem to find interesting stuff to see along the way. Even things we have seen before take on a different look as the seasons and weather change.
Idaho Day Trip
We had been checking out the Spokane area for a couple of months now. It was time to head over to Idaho for a closer look there. It was nice, but, we still prefer Spokane Valley. Check out the video too! Idaho Day Trip
Spokane Views and Sunsets
There isn't a competition with Covington here. It's just a different, dramatic view. Fire smoke comes from the west and creates a different view.
Carpet Pad Replacement
While the carpet in the Spokane house is very nice, there were areas where the padding needed help. The problems were enough to warrant replacement. The guys we chose did a wonderful job and now the carpet looks and feels almost new.
To Covington and Fire Smoke
Once again, you never know what adventures you'll have when crossing the state. This time we got some good pictures of the Labor Mountain fire that was burning just northwest of Ellensburg. It's a heavily forested area and difficult to access.
Moon
You didn't think we would miss having a few pictures of the moon, did you? We even got a daytime image for you. Hope you enjoy!

Kanaskat - Palmer State Park
We had to get out of the house for a few hours for the realtor to hold an open house. We decided to check out a local state park and the Green River. John brought the drone along and took a flight from outside the park as they don't allow drones in the park. It was a nice day and we enjoyed the peacefulness there. There is a link to the video on the picture page.
John's 5000
I had a goal set when I started with Twitter that I would have 5000 followers when I retired. I finally got there, just a little late. This last couple of weeks as I approached my goal, it was interesting to see the daily change in followers and the variety of interests they represented.
Our 40th Anniversary Dinner
We happened to be in Spokane at the time. We had been busy setting up the new house and there were lots of errands to run that day, so we just stopped in at Safeway and picked up something to eat. We took a break from our work about 6:30 and warmed up dinner. We put our little tables together in front of the door to the deck and enjoyed the view. After 40 wonderful years, we are beginning a new adventure.
New bed and frame
We are pretty handy at putting things together, so this project wasn't very hard. We had never seen a mattress delivered like this one. After we opened it up and spread it out, it turned out to be just fine and perfect for our needs. Our makeshift night stands work well too.
Guest Bathroom Closet Rebuild
While the closet was fine as far as it's size, that they filled it with wire racks was a problem. First, the wire had to go. Then Cheryl got started building a cabinet with drawers. Finally, the long and short hang poles were added along with some upper shelving. A much better use of the space.
Spokane Views
It's what sold us on the house. Views from the windows and especially from out on the deck are awesome. In the daytime the vista views from the Dishman Hills all the way to Mica Peak in Idaho can take your breath away. Because of the water retention area below us, it feels like you're in a tall building on the side of the hill. Watching the Moon rise over the lights of the city is a real treat.
Jason's Birthday Party
We were there! Yes, for the first time in our 40 years together, Cheryl and I went to a bar. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting many of Jason and Lisa's friends. The celebration was fun and we thank them for inviting us.
Views While Traveling
We find the rides back and forth between Covington and Spokane very interesting. Each trip presents views for us to capture. I separated them out so you would know which way we were going.
06 To Spokane
14 To Covington
20 To Spokane
28 To Covington
Even the traveling is an adventure. Also, a nice five hours to just sit and talk to each other.
Rabbits
It has been fun for us to watch for the rabbits that come into our yard in Covington. Occasionally, we had seen some before, but this August, they made themselves comfy and even took naps. Here you can get a glimpse of what we saw.

Front Door Cam
The Doorbell cam captured us coming and going. There sure were some nice summer days. It even caught me when I was flying the drone.
Fireworks
Cheryl spent some time on the Forth of July at the art room window. She did a nice job of capturing the local fireworks. There were lots of colorful displays. Even the sunset put on a nice show in the background.
Moon
Both of us enjoy trying to capture the best shot of the moon. Zooming in and zooming out, it's a challenge to catch the Moon in a proper context. Here are a few favorites from this last month.
Sunsets
Pacific Northwest sunsets almost never fail. Shortly after the Sun vanishes, the colors on the clouds peak. Getting just the right shot sometimes requires a bit of patience. Cheryl has the timing just right.
Mt. Rainier
As we drove around running errands, we kept an eye out to see the Mountain. Out shopping in Maple Valley, we got a few glimpses. While flying the drone it's mandatory to get some pictures of the Mountain. Cheryl has a special place on Interstate 5, south of Seattle that gives a good view also.
Spokane Views
We think the view from our deck in Spokane is awesome. Looking out over the city of Spokane Valley and west towards the city of Spokane we see the wonderful colors of the sky. The lights at night are mesmerizing.
Spokane Animal Visitors
We have a few Marmots that live in the rock walls in our Spokane neighborhood. They are members of the squirrel family. They are social creatures and generally travel in small groups. Several times we have seen them around the basement ground level back door. We have also seen them playing near the rock walls across the street from us.
John's Room
John has been working on the computer setup for his office. The previous owners left several large screen TVs. John took one and added it to his collection. It gives a very large picture when he it editing videos and wants to see detail. There is still more work to be done.
Spokane to Covington
As we travel back and forth between Covington and Spokane, we get to see lots of cool sights. Sometimes we even remember to take a picture. Here are some images taken from our last trip from Spoke to Covington.
Trip to Seattle U District
As we prepare for settling in to the new house in Spokane, we are researching furniture that will be complimentary to the new home. Cheryl likes the natural styles that are available at Room & Board, in the University District of Seattle. So off we went on another adventure. Several pictures were taken as we headed south on I-5 as we headed home.
July 08/08/2025
By Rick Schmit
July gave me a few welcome breaks from the work routine - and I made the most of them with some drone flying. It was a great month to relax, recharge, and capture some cool footage from above.
Backyard Fireworks - July 4th
I didn't travel anywhere for the holiday, but I did send the drone straight up - about 300 feet above my backyard. What I saw from that vantage point absolutely amazed me. The sky lit up in every direction, and the view was something I couldn't have imagined from the ground.
Enjoy the video.
Elephant Rocks State Park - Late July
Later in the month, I took a short day trip a few hours south to Elephant Rocks State Park. I didn't end up flying as much as I'd hoped as the terrain was more wooded than expected. The visit was still well worth it. The weather was perfect, and the scenery was beautiful.
Check out the awesome rock footage.
June 07/08/2025
By Cheryl and John Schmit
Moving is consuming most of our time. However, we are trying to stop and take a picture now and then, Sometimes we find ourselves finishing a task and going "We didn't get a picture of that". Complicating the moving process is the effort to 'down size' as we make choices as to what to take. Sometimes this can be difficult. Also creeping into the picture are discussions on what to take and what to replace once we get there. Moving something might cost more than replacing. All that said, we are still waiting for the Covington house to sell. It is a very slow market, but we are trying to be patient.
Covington House
With the house mostly staged, we are condensed to computer work in the kitchen. Minimal clothing is in the closet. The garage houses most items we need on a day-to-day basis.
Spokane House
It's always exciting to get here. We love the view and the new opportunities the house represents. As photographers, we want to share the views and their variety. Soon there will be piles of our stuff all over, looking for their place in the chaos.
Getting Gas - Mountain and Cheryl
Whenever we stop at out local Covington gas station, I like to catch a picture of the Mountain. It peeks through the trees real nice. On the way back to the pumps, I catch Cheryl in the drivers seat. She's always so happy!
Gnome Park
Taking to time to catch our breath and do something different, Cheryl and I took a walk through the Gnome Park in Maple Valley. Just being in the park is relaxing and checking out the different Gnome displays is fun. Just a half an hour there can feel so good.
Mount Rainier
The day was beautiful. A perfect time to get out and catch some wonderful pictures of Mt. Rainier. We won't be able to do that after we move. Maybe our new target will be Mt. Spokane. In any event enjoy these views of Mt. Rainier.
1st Truck to Spokane
The event was well planned, but I was a bit nervous about driving a U-Haul truck over the mountains. Sometimes their trucks can be a bit undependable, and parts of the road can be pretty rough. We ended up with a powerful, fairly new truck that was a pleasure to drive. Cheryl planned the packing and we tied everything down well. Loading the truck to it's maximum weight capacity went quick. I was so glad to open the rear door when we arrived to find everything just how we packed it. A special thanks to all the family and friends who helped unload. What took all day to pack, took less than 2 hours to unload.
Moon Over Spokane
I couldn't help it. It was there and I had to take the picture. The Moon looks pretty much the same in Spokane as it does in Covington. Taking the picture from our deck was awesome.
Ride to Covington
Soon it was time to go back to Covington. There is stuff in two storage rooms and in the garage to prepare for truck number 2. Also there was house maintenance that required our attention. Yes, I cut the grass one more time. Cheryl pulled weeds and dressed up the over grown garden. Keeping the house showcase ready while living there is not easy. But we managed to relax in the evening and watch a movie or two.

Packing for Moving
You don't know how much you have until you decide to move. Our current home has been the biggest so far and we filled it with many memories. Sometimes, it is difficult to go through some things. Others we find to be just clutter and easily move on without them. Luckily, we don't have a strict time frame. We have been loading up two storage rooms that we will move to Spokane first. The house is staged and we continue to occupy it. It's a bit weird to live with decorations from someone else.
While we have been very busy with packing and preparing to move, there were other activities that required our attention.
Hot Air Balloon
Coming back from a trip to the storage place, we spotted a hot air balloon above us. We don't normally have balloons in our sky, but here it was.
Moon
With more and more clear skies at night, we just can't resist the opportunity to take a picture or two. John looked up on the 4th and just had to take the shot.
Painters
For this latest adventure of ours, we had to get special workmen in to do a few things. One was getting some walls painted after we removed the bookcases. They also touched up nicks and blemishes here and there.
Wedding Video Editing
While Cheryl was packing the office around me, I continued to work on editing the videos from the wedding. It looks like the final product should make some people very happy. It was an awesome project to work on.
Sunsets
No matter how busy you get, the Sun sets each day. Cheryl took time out to watch for ones that were photogenic.
Rhoddies in Bloom
The Rhoddies picked the perfect time to amass the largest blooms we had seen in a while. The pink plant gave the bees plenty to work on. What a nice way to highlight the front yard.
Olympic Mountains
We don't often get lower-level clear skies. The haze likes to settle in and make viewing the Olympic Mountains difficult. On the 26th, Cheryl captured a rare moment when the mountains looked wonderful.
Mountain View Cemetery with Mountain
We couldn't get out on Memorial Day but made the trip on the 28th. This cemetery has always been a favorite of ours and the flags were still waving there. The weather was good and the Mountain was out.
Window Washing
The birds knew! While we were gone for the wedding, the birds came and decorated our windows. Not one or two, but all around the house and second story ones too. We know a great window washer and he came right away to clean up the mess. He did the insides also, making the windows sparkling clean.

West Views
The ever-changing skies to our west offer stunning opportunities for photography. This collection features some breathtaking moments that Cheryl captured while gazing out the window-where fog, hail, and fiery sunsets paint the horizon with their fleeting beauty.
Cherry Trees
Cherry blossoms are a Pacific Northwest favorite. Our neighborhood has some wonderful flowering trees right up the middle of our entry-way drive. It is a spectacular view every time we come home. April 1st, Cheryl had to stop and capture the view.
Moon
After all the cloudy skies we had during winter, it is nice to see the stars and Moon once again. John took several pictures on the 3rd and 8th with his phone. It is fun to be able to see some of the details.
Mountain Views
When the Mountain is out, you take a picture. That's the rule we've had since we moved to the state of Washington. Now it's become a habit. Even while getting gas, John snaps a few pictures. Later, while driving through Maple Valley, we caught a few more images.
Early Easter Dinner with Allen
Allen's work schedule sometimes has an impact on holiday meals. This time we celebrated Easter a little early so he could join us for the meal. It's always nice to have him over as we get a chance to catch up on his latest activities. He enjoys the meals and we enjoy his company. A nice time was had by all.
Wedding Events
With the plethora of pictures associated with the wedding of Jason and Lisa, we separated them into the following four pages.
Drive and Wedding Eve
It is about a five-hour drive from our house to Spokane. The drive is dramatic in that we cross the Cascade Mountain Range through the Snoqualmie Pass. The mountain views and multiple lakes are a stark change to the flat farm land once we cross the Columbia River.
It was a surprise to us that Jason and Lisa were expecting us for dinner that evening. They also had a great party on the eve of the wedding. They were very gracious hosts throughout our time in Spokane.
Wedding
It was a special honor for John to Officiate the wedding. The wedding event went very well and the day was splendid. John had the equipment to video record the wedding and brought his drone for some special views.
Wine Tasting
What a wonderful time we had visiting the Arbor Crest Wine Cellars. Jason and Lisa arranged for a special time together to enjoy some wine tasting and fantastic views from the grounds there. It is a favorite place for wedding photographers and wine enthusiasts. With Jan and Daryl and Lisa and Jason, we all enjoyed our flights of wine.
Family Fun and Drive Home
The food continued as Daryl kept the grill hot and the meat tasty. It was nice to relax with family members and enjoy the time together. All too soon, the evening drew to a close, and it was time to head home. Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who made our visit so special. As Lisa and Jason embark on this beautiful journey together, we send our love and best wishes, praying that their marriage is filled with unwavering love and lifelong happiness.
John does chores
While we were gone, the grass grew. When we arrived home, the chores were waiting for us. Here, John cuts the grass.

Moon
There was a conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter on the 5th of March. Venus and Mercury were close to each other and also visible just after sunset. Quite the night for stargazing! You can see several objects in Cheryl's image, even Orion on the left.
The Jason and Lisa Cemetery Tour
We were very glad to have Jason and Lisa come to spend some time with us. Jason was interested in finding several of his families grave sites here in the Seattle area. Lisa brought flowers for Nana. We had a great time tromping around the different cemeteries and trying to find people. We even caught a few deer eating flowers. It was a nice visit and we are looking forward to the wedding!
Seattle Trip
We had to take a trip into Seattle for a medical checkup for Cheryl. Always a good time to take pictures and check out the cityscapes as we rolled through. Nice cherry trees at the Starbucks in Tukwilla.
Lunar Eclipse
On the 13th there was a total Lunar Eclipse. We were going to see the Blood Moon that night. Our cameras were ready and we took lots of pictures. But, it is really hard to take pictures when there is no light. We didn't have any special equipment but still managed to capture the essence of the night.
Security Cam Views
Our doorbell cam was active in March. Getting packages and mail set it off. Just a different view than normal.
John's New Gym Clothes
John made the decision to join Cheryl at the gym, which set off quite the preparation process. From assembling a new wardrobe of gym clothes to picking out fresh earbuds and a stylish water bottle, getting ready became an event in itself. A couple of trial visits hinted that the gym experience might not be as smooth or enjoyable as John had hoped. Stay tuned-this story is far from over!
Lightning Storm
The weather forecast called for a lightning storm, and it certainly delivered. Cheryl, ever prepared, had her camera ready to capture the action. Over the course of an hour that evening, lightning illuminated the sky while thunder rumbled in the distance, creating a dramatic display. Cheryl put the cellphone in video mode and John was able to isolate several nice shots of lightning bolts with his video editor.
West Window Views
While not as dramatic as the lightning storm, our west facing window was a great place to capture the ever changing and wide variety of our Pacific Northwest skies. Cheryl took the time over many days to take lots of wonderful pictures. Here are a few of the best.
Mountain and Cheryl
Whenever we get gas, we check on the Mountain. If it is out, we can generally see it from the gas station. While the gas is pumping, John walks around and gets a picture of Mt. Rainier. Coming back to the car, he snaps one of Cheryl too.
February 03/05/2025
By Cheryl and John Schmit
Security Cam
As usual, the front door cam was able to pick up a few good images. They kind of reflect how things were during the month. Enjoy!
Snow Event
We labeled this an 'event' rather than a storm because it represented a continuous weather change over more than a week. These images capture the most dramatic transformations during the first four days. Afterward, snowfall continued but melted rapidly. This was the most significant and so far, the only snowfall we've experienced this winter.
Moon
We were very fortunate that the weather cooperated so we may bring you these images of the Snow Moon from February 11th. While the Moon rose early in the day, it was still visible after dark. These images were captured with John's phone.
Mt. Rainier and Auburn Cemetery
Our favorite place to capture images of Mount Rainier is at Auburn Centennial Viewpoint. The clear view across the dramatic views of the city highlights the majesty of the Mountain. This was the first time we were able to see the foothills to the right and left of the Mountain as clearly with the snow outlining them. We then crossed the street to the cemetery and took some pictures from the Eagle Columbarium. It is an awesome place and very tranquil.
Hearty Winter Dinners
These are just an example of the hearty winter dinners that Cheryl has made. Cheryl is a wonderful cook and takes pains to make dinners that are substantial and filling. Taking the season into account, Cheryl creates warming food that satisfies. While these dinners are nutritious, second helpings can have a negative impact on the waistline. It is hard to say no to seconds.
Saltwater State Park
Around the 25th of the month, we experienced a significant weather front moving through the area. Winds from the front exceeded 60 miles per hour along the coast. While we didn't have as high of winds at our house, they were more powerful along the Puget Sound. We didn't initially connect this weather event to our visit to Saltwater State Park on the Puget Sound, but upon arrival, we were confronted with the extensive damage and debris left in the storm's wake. Although our visit was relaxing, it was clear that a massive cleanup effort would be required.
Planetary Alignment
On February 28th, we were treated to a rare planetary alignment. Just after sunset, Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars were all lined up in the sky. The catch was that clear skies, and sometimes a telescope, were necessary to view them. Despite the challenging cloud cover, Cheryl ventured out and attempted to capture the spectacle with her camera. Although the clouds were quite thick, there were brief breaks that allowed glimpses of some of the planets.
Sunsets
We have a west-facing window, which played a significant role in our decision to choose this house. If you want to witness breathtaking sunsets, a west-facing window is essential. Here are a few of our best sunsets from February. Whether the skies were cold, snowy, or clear, we always enjoyed the view. We hope you do too.

Security Cams
Many times, when we look at the security images, we see ourselves. Most of the time, we look at the doorbell cam. Lately, we've seen some images from the garage cam. We come and go from there too. Check these pictures for everyday activity.
New Years Morning
On the morning of January 1st this year, as we woke up to greet the new year, Cheryl snapped a few photos through the window. They serve as an interesting reminder of what the world looked like on the very first day of the year.
Making Waffles
Waffles truly make for a fantastic breakfast. On Saturday, the 11th, Cheryl brought out the waffle maker and whipped up some batter. The end result was a wonderful breakfast.
Frosty Mornings
This winter, we've had no snow on the ground so far. In the absence of snowy scenes, we've decided to share photos of frosty mornings instead. See, it does get cold here sometimes! Hopefully, we'll get to capture some snowy landscapes before winter ends.
A Look Around - Maple Valley
John enjoyed the pictures from last month's flight over Bellevue. Since we visit Maple Valley several times a week, he thought it would be great to share some drone images of what the area looks like.
Lake Wilderness
While John was flying his drone from Lake Wilderness, Cheryl decided to capture some photos of the park. The park features a charming pavilion overlooking the lake. Next door, there's a golf course and a disc golf course. On the east shore, a trail follows the path where a train once traveled. It's a very picturesque park.
Sunsets and Clouds
As we watch the dramatic skies here in the Pacific Northwest, the winter weather brings interesting clouds and sunsets. Many times, the setting sun will increase the drama by lighting the clouds from a new angle. Colores also emerge from the setting sun and we get awesome views in the sky. The Sun is now setting to the North of the water tank so we see it set on the horizon.
Scanning Pictures
We are continuing the extensive process of digitizing our old photos. We began taking digital pictures in late 1999 and early 2000, so all photographs taken before that need to be digitized for preservation. Cheryl and I have been taking turns with the scanners, meticulously working through our photo books. The completed books can be seen sitting on the white cabinets, while those still in the bookcase have yet to be scanned. Our task includes dating and naming each file, and whenever possible, adding individual names and locations. Our current collection has almost 200,000 pictures, with only a few thousand left to go.
