August 2011

I have been nudged to update this site, and rightfully so. Once again, a summer with too many projects. Big morning plans got nixed when a call came in for a medical assist. Here is a great picture Michael took after he called the helicopter in.

This afternoon, a grass fire is right out our friends' door, Doug and Addie, and I start to think about my wildland gear and if it is all ready. They should be alright, unless the wind direction changes, and even still, they have good wet space around their ranch. Our grass here has dried out and there is plenty of it to burn now.


The following slide show will compare the garden and greenhouse from earlier this year. Brussel sprouts do well here, as you will see! Ending picture is the cherry jam I've worked on all day thanks to my friends Butch and Marsha letting us pick their sour cherries.


Just to make sure we don't worry about being bored, this Thursday friends Gary and Diana arrive for the big birthday bash on Saturday. How cool that we will not only celebrate Michael's birthday, but Gary's too!! And, of course, Kenlyn's as well. Should be a good party! Hope you are all enjoying your summer too!!
