The garden is finally kicking off nicely. Oregon at 1800ft is a Late May to October growing season. Usually.

Installing a gate. I put my son to work! #grownoster

Dug up a volunteer walnut tree at work today. We'll see if this one survives. The last one I didn't get enough taproot/roots and it perished. I took more care this time.

It's soon to be mate in the second pic at the homestead.

Awesome!

Next week should be dry and warmer here in western Oregon. Maybe my apple trees will finally pop!

We called it the Bongo truck. I'm not sure why.

Big Lake fire. 2016. Mt. Washington in the back. High east winds are causing the smoke to run parallel to the treetops. I spotted it at 4am while answering the call of nature.

Thanks. I spent a couple fire seasons up there.

4. I just really need to see spring finally appear here. So far it's 5 weeks late, though next week appears to be the change in season, if the weather apps are correct.

Last year at this same time from my back deck. So far the scotch broom still hasn't bloomed yet. Hell, it's still spitting snow at us. A bit unusual.
