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.
