August around the Pacific Northwest

We had a beautiful, mostly DRY August.  Seems like I was out and about every weekend. The one thing I have done in the past that I did not get to do, was dancing under the stars in Seattle.  The one time I wanted to go,  it rained!  The album posted at the bottom shows the variety of outdoor activities I did. When I was camping with friends at Salt Creek up on the straights, we hiked up a neglected hill, that had been a military lookout post and gun emplacement.  We ended up bush-wacking to a spot where we could get a view.  There in the bushes we found 4 folding chairs!  In the evening we all went to the water's edge to get sunset photos.



Emilia discovered blackberries.  We had a great harvest.  "Baak bay" was the cry from the car every time Rena drove up!

This year I went to county fair in a new capacity.  I demonstrated spinning in the sheep barn.  I went early and looked in on my old 4H pals.  I was then able to watch the judging of the wool fleece and talk to some of the sheep farmers.  I was next to an old hippie couple, decked out in their finest tie-die.  It was enlightening and fun.
