Well it's soccer season, so all I have is a few more soccer photos -- Josephine with her best buddy Katie.

A little pumpkin carving and the results of Josephine's foraging in the garden.

Here are just a couple soccer photos -- they're not great.  I'll get more soon.  This was a day when they only had 6 players (just enough to play with no subs), so they were all a little nervous about having to play the whole game.  Look closely and you can see it on their faces.  

The bounty from one day of harvesting!

Here are a couple photos from the fair:

A couple pics of our first chicken eggs!!

We created a dwelling for a creature -- perhaps a field mouse or wayward mole.  The house consisted of two furnished rooms, with a bed and even a chandelier (sp?).  There was a secret entrance as well as a slide to get down into the house quickly if necessary.  

I'm rushing a bit to get these  on here, so they are  not very edited.  Josephine and I spent 3  wonderful days at the beach together, riding horses, lounging in a nice hotel, eating seafood and playing in the sand.  These are a few photos that we took.  Look closely at the one that just looks like I took a picture of the trees -- there is a deer there, also look closely at the picture of the sand spit -- there are seals lounging about.  It was absolutely beautiful.

Some photos of our beach trip . . . . 

I was trying to upload photos of when dad was here, but can't seem to make it work. here is one of Jospehine and her chicken to tide you over till I figure it out.

Here we are in McMinnville, at the rooftop bar where we had a lovely lunch and enjoyed the scenery.

It was in the 90's and the Ben Franklin Statue is bronze -- you can kinda see the discomfort on our faces.

Here are a few photos from the weekend.

The one above is at the Pittock Mansion and the others are at the Evergreen Aviation Museum.

More to follow . .
