Central Oregon September flowers bloom.
The dogs watch birds and critters.
Night falls.
My journal and a day's harvest. The tomatoes are washed and frozen the day they are harvested and the beans blanched and frozen.
Images from a visit out to a friend's hazelnut farm. We enjoy the journey to and being at the farm. Hazelnut harvesting was happening. We explored, picking some grapes to eat and others to juice.
There was a baby shower for our niece. I hand-quilted a baby quilt made from a Daisy Kingdom panel printed in 1993. I made the card last year; the image of mother and child is from a rubber stamp designed by Alma de la Melena Cox.
We canned a batch of blackberries and a batch of no-sugar blackberry jam and sent them by USPS Priority Mail ahead of us to California. The berries are from our garden.
Freshly harvested hazelnuts from the farm, lightly roasted. Delicious!
I'm totally jealous of your garden, Marion...I mean, my goodness. I was totally happy with my four little tomatoes until I see what you've been harvesting!!!! And my goodness, but your photography just gets more and more wonderful. I love the one of the bee on the asters, and your doggies are just soooo photogenic! What beautiful photos of them you've been taking!
ReplyDeleteHi Katie,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a good growing season for us! With long stretches of very hot days and some cold snaps during the summer, we were worried at times...
Thank you for the encouraging words about my photos. There's something magic about my camera - its great at capturing special little moments and sightings for me. Your photos have helped to show me how to use the lens to find and focus on things around me. I am enjoying the results.
Aloha, Marion
