Interpretive Nature Run

Posted on July 2, 2017September 26, 2018 by Pattie Beaven

Being an avid non-runner, I look for opportunities to avoid the exercise at all costs. However, with the Sloth Army Running Club in full swing and meeting twice a week for runs, I can’t escape it. Coming up with running workouts on Thursdays is pretty easy, I have a slew of them. Coming up with…

100 Ways of EarthFit- Day 82: Not Your Typical Earth Day

Posted on April 25, 2016September 26, 2018 by Pattie Beaven

It’s a long drive from Whidbey Island to Portland, Oregon.  And even in a Prius, it’s not the most environmentally friendly way to spend the one day out of the year dedicated to conserving resources and doing your part to protect the planet.  But this year was not your typical Earth Day,  and I was…

100 Ways of EarthFit- Day 40: Haiku

Posted on March 13, 2016September 26, 2018 by Pattie Beaven

I have some homework I need to do for my Naturalist training that I am avoiding because of all the rain we’ve been having.  I need to do a sit spot, but sitting still for even just 20 minutes is similar to yoga, and we all know how I feel about that.  I also have…

100 Ways of EarthFit- Day 39: Looking for Four-Leaf Clovers

Posted on March 12, 2016September 26, 2018 by Pattie Beaven

As a Wildlife Refuge Naturalist, I get to rove the trails at the refuge, and point out interesting things to visitors.  It’s easy to recognize the eagles as they soar above.  And in the rare instance that a deer has crossed my path, I have taken notice.  But, I sometimes find it difficult to notice…

100 Ways of EarthFit- Day 6: Experiencing Nature 101

Posted on February 7, 2016September 26, 2018 by Pattie Beaven

Today I volunteered at the Wildlife Refuge, something I regularly do on Saturday mornings since Chris is usually at his open studio.  While at the refuge, I started reading a book called “Bird Watching for Dummies”.  It was a quick read, but maybe not the perfect one for me to get hooked on Birding as…
