Summer is winding down.....

So it seems like I have been doing nothing but working on things. Jon's car had a few little issues that I think we have worked out. The Honda got new rear brakes. The boat trailer got new bearings on both axles. The fuel pump on the outboard has been rebuilt. I hope things stay in one piece for a while.
Wow....the end of August already! Adam started classes last week. We had a big rib dinner before he headed back to his dorm.






Cody down at the swimming hole at the river.



Of course Queenie had to tag along.



Sunset last week in the Willamette valley. That is the coast range in the distance.



We have been eating lots of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. The plums are ripe. Lots of wild blackberries now and our Gravenstein apples are ripe. Lorelei has been making cobblers, apple crisp and freezer jam. We still have blueberries too! We will be eating apples and pears through November.

Jon starts cross country practice today! He has only trained sporadically during the summer. This year will be an interesting one.

Summer is winding down.....fall is in the air and the salmon are starting to run in the local rivers. It doesn't get any better than this.

All of the August pictures are HERE.
