Saturday, September 2, 2006Home Sweet Home We really do live in some beautiful country. This is no place in particular... I could have taken a shot anywhere along this old dirt logging road and it would have been just as lovely and scenic. The East Fork of the Trinity is running over white rocks in the canyon below, the last of the wild flowers are blooming on the road cuts and even the poison oak is beginning to take on it's fall colors. Hawks and squirrels and deer... there's tracks of a bear who wandered down the road sometime before we got here. I'm so glad I didn't choose to live in the city. For all it's inconvienences, I love my mountains!

Randy asked me if I'd like to go help him get bark for the Lion's BBQ so I went. He is cutting the bark off some old half rotted firs from a decades old deck. It was a nice ride. Seemed like new territory as it's been so long since I've been out the east side. The BBQ is tomorrow and we'll go to that as well. it's a fund raiser for several local groups. The Lion's, naturally, but both fire depts and the artist assc. as well. Locals and tourists all look forward to it each labor Day. Hope you're enjoying your days off! posted @ 11:20 AM PST [link] Thursday, August 31, 2006Time to change our ways... I think you can guess who spent the night out carousing. It's getting to be the time of year when they need to start coming in at night. The only way I've found to convince a naturally nocturnal animal to come in at night is too withhold the groceries during the day and not allow access to this cozy green chair! So he's going to be sent outdoors in a few minutes and they can come in after dinner and the doors will close after them. It won't be long until they'll be spending the winter in the studio, safe from hungry predators. I know that everyone needs to eat, but... not my cats, thank you! I hate cooping them up for 5 months of the year, but it's the only safe way and at least they get the other 7 to feel (mostly) free, which is more than a lot of cats ever know. But enough of philosophy! I'm going to town today so better get started. Hope you enjoy your day!

That's going to be some upholstery fabric to recover a Mission rocker of belonging to my bro-in-law. Then another rug I think. And maybe some xmas presents. Not too soon to be thinking of that is it?  Well... thinking never hurts much, anyway!
