A tree, a fire and a harvest

A post after a many month hiatus!

A glimpse into our last few days...

Tall with tangled braches and many trunked, this tree towered ominously.
It was removed yesterday from its spot above and between two houses.
Goodbye, dear tree.

As I prepared for my trip over Santiam Pass on Sunday, September 9th, smoke rose from behind Black Butte - it was the Pole Creek fire.
I watched the fire's progress as I made my way across the pass.

On the west side of the cascades, our garden was full of goodies to harvest.
The tomatoes and cucumbers are delicious fresh.
The blackberries are frozen as soon as they are picked.
Beans we steam daily.
