Saturday, July 1, 2006Our Nat'l Forest Fireworks No fireworks in the forest but the daylilies are making glorious splashes in celebration. And I finally got the lawn mowed so they can be seen. Eddy and Justin may be here tomorrow and next weekend John and Debi and coming then shortly after Dan and his family arrive so we are going to have a lot of company this month. The cabins across the drive are also rented the next month or so to people who've been coming up summers for 30+ years, as well. So I did some yard grooming to make us look... well, we're country cousins, but spiffed up ones, anyway!  Randy came in bone tired tonight and went to bed before the chickens. The poor boy has to spend tomorrow in the shop. I've been printing orders all day. I guess weavers have been inspired by all the fiber fairs lately and are looking for new tools. Well, I hope you all have a fun and !!safe!! weekend!  posted @ 08:02 PM PST [link] Wednesday, June 28, 2006Mt. Shasta from Vista Point on hwy 97 This was a shot taken the first day of their trip showing Mt. Shasta in the background. They all claimed to have had a good time. The boys slept in their tent and Randy in the back of the pick-up, in which he had a mattress. Said it was comfortable except for the voracious mosquito's. A wet spring means a huge crop of those gals. They visited the lava caves in the park and Medicine lake. Didn't get to see Glass Mountain, tho, as that road was still snowed in. Randy was worried about the heat that was predicted for the weekend but said it neared freezing up in the high country that night!  posted @ 03:20 PM PST [link] Our Weekend...  We sent the boys off with Grampa to go camping and Karen and I went to Rogue River to ride the jet boat up Hellgate Canyon with Rosy & Rex. (third row left side) It was over 100 degrees so getting soaked, as the pilots of these boats make sure you are, was not only delightful, but almost required! I did remember sunscreen so only got a tiny bit of burn where I missed. It was a fun ride. Next day we got pedicures and facials... well, all of us but poor Rosy who was just healing from a dandy case of poison oak which was a gift from the dog. That plant is really lush and potent this wet summer. Then Monday we went with Rosy to her spinning guild meeting and then did the grocery shopping and came home. Just in time for the longest and loudest thunder storm we've had in some time! It must have hung over our house for a good 5 hours! There are just two small fires this morning, tho, since the storm was a wet one, also. But nobody got any sleep before 2 am and the dogs are still skittish today. More in the forecast for tonight...  posted @ 03:12 PM PST [link] |
