WE ARE STILL HERE!

In Blogland, we've been away for awhile ... but in real life we're still here on earth. Happily, we're now at home, getting re-acquainted with our little corner of the world here on the Caloosahatchie River in Florida. But that's... Continue reading

OLD FAVORITES

It's kind of in-between seasons here in the Eugene area. Too late for summer and too early for Fall color. And no wildlife sightings. I took not a single outdoor picture last week. In fact, I took no pictures at... Continue reading

These pictures are from yesterday afternoon's get-together at the home of our grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Even now, at the end of the season, their backyard is colorful and comfortable. Somehow, when each of our children bought their first home and... Continue reading

WILD MEMORIES

Sticking close to home this week doing some fun stuff that I don't document well with photographs. You know, like cooking, eating, reading, walking, visiting with local family. Of course I do take pictures sometimes when I do the latter... Continue reading

This is a mostly a repeat memory post with some added thoughts and all new pictures. On our summer camping trip in June we drove through New Pine Creek, the tiny (not-quite-a) town that straddles the Oregon-California border. We lived... Continue reading

Newberry National Volcanic Monument, Central Oregon

CRATER LAKE COOL DOWN

It used to be kind of boring to talk about the weather -- not so much anymore, sadly. A massive heat dome is expected to cover most of the country this week, bringing yet another round of extremely hot summertime... Continue reading

The Vast Oregon Outback

We spent most of our two week vacation road-tripping in Southeastern Oregon. The one word description of the area is "Vast". It is large in size and small in population. There are many hidden treasures for road-trip adventurers. Places to... Continue reading

Planned-overs for a busy week.

Because it's been a busy week, we're serving "planned-overs" today. As with many of our meals during that kind of week, I like that term better than "left-overs". But it is the same thing. Obviously. We are going on a... Continue reading

MAY Flowers -- and Showers

We went to see the rhododendrons at Hendricks Park Friday. Most of last week was colder and wet and so we jumped at the chance to get out when the morning looked at least partly sunny. I have to laugh... Continue reading

It was a good week -- life is slowly coming back to normal. But not many pictures, so it's archive-mining again -- from earlier this month, a year ago, and a few years (too many) ago. 'To see we must... Continue reading

Nothing much new under the sun this week. Or actually under the rain and gray clouds. Rain is definitely needed, so I'm not feeling sad about it at all. And besides there are photo-worthy skies in the archives. Here are... Continue reading
