![]() It’s ugly and it looks like Coffee Creek Road is out again, too. Nothing to stop the runoff & it brought all sorts of mud and muck with it down Coffee Creek, into Treasure Creek and branched into the dry flume though the yard. Apparently the heave storms were up in the alps in the burn scares from last year. And it did no damage to us but the poor fishes did not fair so well. It fid not seem enough to worry about so went back to sleep. ![]() …about 1am I heard water running in the dry flume outside my bedroom window. ![]() There’s another one ripe now, too, and lots of green ones.Īnd yesterday we were threatened by the Weather Wizards with heavy Thunder storms and flash floods. My peaches are just now starting to soften and we had our first tomato for dinner last night. We had one day with a high in the mid 70’s. Garden, loom projects, cabin rentals… We had a week of over 100 degrees. But while I have been busy, I don’t know that all that much has been going on. Oh well, Late, as the saying goes, seems to be my middle name. And the woodbine was once again brightening up the yard. Got some nice winter squashes off my couple of vines. It had one apple this year, which was not bad as the crop on all the apples this year was negligible. My broken Hyde King apple tree is making a come back after it got smashed by the fallen alder a couple years ago. They are also handsome and have white blossoms that make pretty red berries in the winter. I don’t want a Madrone in the yard, they are a messy tree, but I enjoy them out in the forest. The best thing about madrone is that even tho the tree was burnt and died of it, it will come back from the root nearly every time so they aren’t really lost. There’s lots of it after last years event. ![]() It’s a hard wood for those of you who don’t know it and makes a really hot fire. The unsplit pile next to the splitter is madrone. The woodshed below is full but he still has room for his drop cord collection and a few other items of manly interest. About the only good thing to come out of last years fires, there’s a lot of dead wood. He’s got the wood shed full, says he thinks he has next years wood already, too. And the distance! But that’s all day dreaming right now. That, of course, set him off looking for other events of this nature that he might want to attend! There’s are a lot of them scattered around but it all involves timing and the size of the event, too. He’s looking at accepting the invitation to go to Utah for the Great Basin event. We’ve gone to three shows this year, Black Sheep Gathering last June, Lambtown in first part of October and OFFF in the last part. I’m not as fast as I used to be, especially at the writing it up part, so that pretty much covers my weaving time. If they don’t take it I can share but if they do it’ll be sometime next year. I have been weaving but mostly it’s all for Little Looms magazine which I can’t share here. Gardening and canning, cooking and cleaning, you know that kind of thing. Things have been happening but not interesting stuff to write about. It’s been awhile, as has been pointed out to me, since I posted here. We can hear all the neighbors machines well enough! I felt for the PUD guys out in that weather but they did a good job of getting us powered up again and I appreciate it! Yeah, we have a generator but it’s a noisy contraption so don’t engage it unless the fridge and freezer start to suffer. We had no damage here other than a few broken branches but there were long stretches of power outages which very likely mean some other trees along the way weren’t so lucky. Is it early? Seemed so, the trees also thought so as almost all of them still have their leaves. We started out this month with some early snow.
