Julia Hucks a fit.........And other PDX Stuff

Visited Portlandia this weekend. Paper and a drop by of Rejuvenation. They have a nice kids play area, and this is Julia's reaction at the news that we had to go.
























Went to the Provvista Open House.........Provvista is a wholesaler dedicated to artisianal products. They distribute our OGS line, and so much more. Great people, totally leading the way for responsible and artisianal producers.

Thanks Joe and Karen!





























Cypress Grove.........



























Nathaniel waits for fresh Peach and Strawberry Gelato

John Day

Later that week, I took the Day to go to Southern Oregon, John Day, to be exact, and the Eastern Oregon Rural Alliance. We are pushing to keep Community Scale Renewables as part of Oregons Renewable Portfolio Standards………



Wonky, yes. But worth it……….

So we drove past Laura Pryors Farm……..



Went to the EORA meeting. (got the endorsement)

Drove back through the John Day Fossil Beds. (Cool)



And we drove by a pretty large Fire Camp. (Federal Crews Fighting a Wild Land Fire……)


And that brings us to The Weekend, and………

Julia!



Oh, and Nathaniel and I played Blind Hunt………

Tomatoes are in from Bitterroot farms.

I’ve never tasted to many wonderful tastes…………… Celilo is really in a groove. We are still a couple of years Early for Hood River, but we sure are having fun………..

Sumerfield Farm

Took Nathaniel and the Fam to Sumerfield Farm, and Uncle Mike brought out the plane…..Bills got a nice five acres, and the kids ran wild all night………………

Driving by the Shed the other night,

About 6 horses tied up out front…..Bunch of Vacqueros in town……..

Catching up from July.

August was a busy month, lots of wheel spinning, and only now, at the end of the season is our work paying off.

I’ve been keeping my head down, perhaps a bit too much……

Went to the coast this weekend. We had hoped to meet up with some friends but couldn’t find room at the campground. Well, we actually did, but had a moderately hilarious exchange with a person in the campground. We decided to take off, and found a great little roadside camp spot.





The coast was Crrroowded! Hood to Coast this weekend, Hot coastal weather, and Surf! We had a wonderful time camping, went to Oswald, and Surfed, and Nathaniel played in the water………Good Tired Kids on the way home.

Another Major Accident on the way back this time. Sports Car Flipped in the West Bound Land…………no fun for the people who were returning from Hood River that weekend……..(The Driver was safe, BTW)



Took Nathaniel to Families in the park, good turnout…..



Ed Prideauxs’ home Caught fire the other day…..I saw him on the street, I think. I hope everything came out alright. The Place was in bad shape when I drove by. His Bradness was directing traffic, and he asked me to tell Jax that he was going to be late for a half hour………….Made Friday night a little touch and go.

County Fair! Yee Haw!

County fair was wonderful this year. Not too crowded, great displays, all our families there. I know it’s a throwback event, but Our County Fair is such a great, family, community thing!
They had a Petting Zoo. (This is the back end of a Yellow Python…….)



And we rode the Merry-go-Round, and ate dogs with the Perkins’ kids.
